I spent a sunny afternoon in Freswota Park. This woman was painfully shy. I doubt she'd ever had her photo taken before.

A local singer.
If this doesn't explain what a lifetime together represents, I don't know
what does. Thanks to the Amsterdam light, which was kind enough on this
occasion to light exactly half the street, I was able to capture an image
that remains one of my favourites.
I had spent a week in Amsterdam, and filled 8 or so rolls of film with
images that I knew were second rate. On my last full day there, in the
course of a few hours, I got five memorable shots on a single roll of film.
This is my favourite of the bunch.

This was taken during a trip to Boston. People in the Common that bright
fall day must have wondered what was going on: An old man, lost in thought,
was pacing through the park, followed by a duck-walking photographer.
The truth is that I didn't know myself why those hands affected me so.
Only after long reflection did I realise that that's exactly how
my grandfather looked from the perspective of a five year old boy
following him on his walk.

I met Chief Ieru on the road out of Lenakel. We gave him a lift for a few kilometres. In return he sang a song for me. His light baritone voice improvised a list of every community in Port Vila, including Freswota 1,2,3,4 and 5 to Mele, Mele Maat and the underwater post office at Hideaway Island. He is an inspired comedian.
I met four chiefs from my local neighbourhood. They kindly allowed me to take their photo.
