And so it ends...
Today was the last trip for the Wildfilms crew. At least, for me. The rest may have a trip lined up for some time in September, assuming that they can free up their schedules for it.
During this season, we have killed equipment, drowned LCD screens, breathed in insects, stung by stingrays.
We have made some new friends, and worked with old ones. We have lost some members to other commitments, and while we wish each other well, they have promised to come back and help us when they can make themselves available again. We have had fun in the dark, unlit places of Singapore, had sometimes heated discussions about right, wrong, and what we think is acceptable as compromise. Some of these will rear their heads again.
We have seen things that others may not have noticed, or seen. And some things that are new to us, I realise are not new to others, and may be more common than even we think.
What have we learned? To accept each other's little (and sometimes not-so-little) quirks, I hope. To respect each other's point of view, even if we should disagree. To remember that as the only creatures walking the Earth blessed with a conscience and thought, we do have a responsibility to be Good Stewards, which sometimes causes us to ask... "Are we doing things right?"
We have a lot to look forward to. Work, play, a normal sleep schedule. Maybe not so much play.
Time to think about all the time I'm going to have on my hands, what with nothing to do in the early mornings now that they are free...

Sigh...I'm especially gonna miss those big, fat & adorable sea hares! Now we're all sounding a little mellow-mellow.... :-(
Yeah, another season is over.. Wildfilms have come a long way.. For me, the shores have been rewarding, as they always have been, but I cherish the most what has been forged between us.. having had to go thru' venomous stings, clouds of S-flies, a bruised eye(me of cuz) and dear ol' Stupoks.
Hmm... for me, it's time to give my studies a last good shot, and perhaps time to think of putting a script together for Wildfilms....hmmm.. wonder if that can be worked in..
