Day 2– Fatáan

what was supposed to be a casual meetup with a village elder at a community centre, turned out to be an important community meeting, given an introduction to the elders of Fatáan community, then portrait session and interview later, exhausted from the day. It is only our 2nd day in the field!
1. Portrait of ilep, community elder & natural leader, craftswomen
2. Making her portrait
3. Important meeting, Tomu Futing speaking to important people of the community on the upcoming harvest festival
4. Having lunch with the elders. Downing beer (grandpa on right) #Apuku Kampai!
5. Setup a mini exhibition of Native portraits from Malaysia
6. Visit boat maker, actually it is a bowl, make from betelnut tree
7. Given boats, in love with grandmas, they are the sweetest
8. Mapping of course, looking for swim spots, hopefully next day will get a chance for a dip
9. Portrait session after community meet.
10. Portrait of a man from a shaman lineage

@intrepidcameraco #intrepidcamera casualty, I'm one film holder down. Even after extensive repair work, the side frame gave way, first from the bottom joint where the plywood is just routed too thin to hold its strength. But I would be able to glue it back, this time with epoxy.
