Guyana Vlog

HA!  You can't click on this picture... tricked you!

If you didn't catch this the first time around, you might want to see it now, for you know, kicks.  And a good summation of what it was like to be "over there" with "them"... :)

(PS... I miss you guys already, and Dad... look out.  Your side of the family is next on my hit list for ancestral research projects... )

For some reason, it's not letting me embed this so just click here.

Guyana: Day 1

I finally had some time over today to sit and go through our first day in Guyana.  Here are some of the highlights.  Enjoy!

I'm workin' on it

So since i got back to Sweden it has just been FULL FART as we say here.  Ha ha ha... it means full speed, but Dad, you already knew that, right? BTW "fart" is my Dad's favorite Swedish (and I'm pretty sure, English) word.

I have as a result not even looked at any of the stuff I filmed in Guyana, with the exception of a little bit of (frustrating) work trying to sync up the sound with the interviews.  So far, everything looks good, from what I have seen, but content-wise, it's still an undiscovered country.

For now though, I thought I would wow you with some aerial photos from the bushplane we took to Kaieteur!  These could be yours, to those of you who donated to the project!  And if you would like a print, it's not too late!  You can buy one from me, and the proceeds will go to the documentary!  A great way to contribute...

Enjoy and stay tuned...
