This photo was taken while I was on my travel documentary project around Sabah. Kids are sea professional. Their after school past time is catching fish for dinner. Please spend 8 minutes watching this story from my home, Sabah.
After my high school graduation in year 2000, my great selfless mother sent me to Australia for the next 5 years, to study and to experience things I will never forget for the rest of my life.
In 2006, I finally came home. After a few searches and tryouts, I decided to record life through the eyes of my lens. I started recording travels, weddings and life. Then I noticed I have collected so many stories from so many different countries but none from my home, the place where I grow up. I didn't even know what kind of life those who live with me on this land are experiencing.
John Lynch in his documentary 'Abroad' asked 'When does a tourist become a traveler?' I then started to put together some puzzles. After having generated a direction of recording stories through traveling, I gave my little project a little name, 'Let's Start From Home'.
About a month ago, I started my first journey with 2 great assistants heading to the north of Borneo. It was amazing, how those who live with us on the same land, has so different point of view towards life from ours.
This is my first story on this land that I care. I hope you can spare me your valuable 8 minutes, to remember faces of those young kids. Because they will be sacrificed by the greedy world and before they even notice, they will have nowhere to go, no home to return. Can somebody help them?
Japan Camera Hunter 很常在做這件事情,那天心血來潮決定跟跟風,看看自己能拍到幾個!就叫我的“第n個包包“。
