Day 05 – Solomon Islands (26 May, 2000)

The day in the Solomon Islands was a magical day for photography. It was the first island that felt really authentic. Rich, tribal  culture and costumes. The local tribes really came out and put on an amazing display. The airport arrival celebration was something that I had trouble capturing with the camera. It could have been my inexperience or just the temperamental digital camera – but I just didn’t capture enough of what was happening.

But by the afternoon I had another chance to get some more tribal colour and am more pleased with some of the images.

 

Outtake:

The torchbearer jumped of the canoe and swam the last 100m to shore! Totally unexpected 9and frowned upon) - so I only have this low quality film scan of the moment
