Children of Papua 20
A Boat Trip
I chose this scene, one of my favorite photos, to be the final image for this series, Children of Papua (Yes, the series has finally ended!). I caught them already on a boat and ready to depart this dugout park in Kiunga and so I didn’t get to interview any of them to find out who they were and where they were going. I can only guess that the children were primary school kids and the lady was their teacher and they were going on a trip — a fitting finale to the long series. I read the thumb-up sign of the boy in yellow as saying that they’re going to be okay. I truly wish we can say that for the rest of the children of Papua.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Happy .. and very colorful – love the orange in the water … must be the sunset ???? Great – GREAT shot.
