Andros Walsh and the Ash Cloud

It's been a tense last couple of days. Andros Walsh and I have been stranded in Peru while we wait for clearance to land in Sydney. The Ash Cloud from Chile has been an amazing natural punctuation point. Andros hasn't been back to his home-city in a number of months. And indeed, it's been over a decade since moving abroad in the search of storytelling excellence. In eagerness to arrive home, he has set sail on a raft fashioned of reclaimed soft drink bottles. I will pick him up once he arrives on Pitcairn Island.

This month's expedition has been fruitful though and we are looking forward to the editing process. The assignment was to capture the movements and activities of a seldom seen Peruvian tribe as they embark on their annual migration into the mountains. The final program will be released for free on youtube and vimeo, so keep an eye out for it!



But the slight delay in our departure has given me some time to catch up on some much needed blogging - and baking! (the hangar has quite a good kitchen).

And since my last post, it seems that certain defamatory blogs have re-emerged from the bowls of the internet. The contents of which is pure drivel, incoherant rantings and musings of a failed human being. Such is the life of a loner though, who can only dwell on reimagined events from years gone by. And with each year, those memories fester and twist into a new reality within their mind.

The internet is full of much jibe and fodder. These other blogs about Andros Walsh are another example of how any fool with 2 fingers and an IQ level of 71 can conjur up a story so false, as to rival the tales of a Romanian Short Film shot by Gypsies on a Bell & Howell super 8 spring loaded camera.

Thank you for using your own judgement when reading ALL blogs. Obviously the internet is a free and liberal medium. People can say what they like.

Well I've got a plane to catch, film to edit, and croissants to eat!

Stephen.
