Video: The Ship Maker

The last traditional ship maker in Saudi Arabia, a beautiful documentary about the last of the traditional wooden ship builders.

 

I loved it when he says

“My son asks me to stop this work and I tell him No, I can’t stop, If I don’t work, I fall sick”

Reminded me of my late grandfather who, worked well into his mid eighties and died while at work, and people younger than I am thinking about early retirement… the last of a dying breed I guess.

Thanks to @Walrex for letting me know about this video.

Video: One Day On Earth 11-11-11 Jeddah

I shot and edited some videos to submit to the one day on earth project, this is what I ended up with.

Since 11-11-11 was a friday, which means it is usually a travel day for me, the only time I had before travelling was right after the Friday prayer, which is mostly family time for most people, so the streets were empty except for a few people fishing.

Most of it was in Jeddah except for the desert scenes which were on the road between Jeddah and Yanbu.

I hope you enjoy, and if I am lucky, some shots will be included in the final One Day on Earth for this year.
