Back on the boat again :)

Thursday February 7, 2008 at 02:13AM

It is amazing how quickly time passes. It feels like yesterday to me when I was sitting here and saying good by to my Ipernity friends because I was going home for Christmas.

Well I am back on the ship again. I promised my self I would take many photos while I was at home so I had something to post when I came back, but I am sorry to say that I did not do that. I took few hundred photos of my family like always, but not much else than that. I tried a few times to go out for a drive with my camera but I did not see anything worth shooting at. I blamed it on the weather, but when I see all the beautiful photos people have been taken at this time of the year, I see that I have no excuse :)

When I go home for holidays I don't spend much time in front of the computer, and because of that I have not been very active on Ipernity lately. Now when I am back on the ship I will have more time to go through your photos. I will be doing that in the next few days :)

I know what you mean. I have days when I specifically go out looking to for things to photograph, and can't seem to find anything. I guess it's the mood you're in at the time.

Gunnsteinn Jonsson pro replies:
It has everything to do with the mood. I know if I had bought a new lens or something new for my camera I would have thousands of photos here now :)

Thanks for your visit :) I have taken thousands of photos here on the ship in the last 7 years. I have some photos on my Flickr site but not many here. I was going to make an album where I would store my "Photos with a story" but I have not done that yet. I might do that one day :)

Yes, please post some photos from the ship!

I'm sure no one at Ipernity, except for you, has seen such a big fishing boat from the inside. So photos from the ship will be very interesting for many at Ipernity. And there will be many motives: Mountains of fish when the nets are emptied, giant freezers, streams of bloody red water pouring into the blue sea, and offcourse the ship and the people at work.

Thanks Eike for your interest :) I have to say that you made me feel bad about my job for a moment :-) "Mountains of fish, giant freezers, streams of bloody red water pouring into the blue sea" This looks like a scene from the movie Happy Feat or Nemo, and I am the bad man :) I have started to post my work photos on Flickr but it is to much work to post everything on two sites so I am not going to post those photos here, at least for now :) Sorry about that :)

Eike replies:
Gunnsteinn, don't feel bad! Farmers also raise animals to slaughter them in the end. Life is more complex than a children's movie. :-) I think fishing and hunting of wild animals is more humane than raising them in a stable, because the wild animals had some kind of fun in their lives.

When I thought about the possible motifs for photography, I thought about the size of the ship: It's long like a small street and high like a big house. So photos from the ship will probably not be nice and cozy, but show small people next to big machines. But one would see such proportions in many other fields too, for example steel works, chemical industries.

With respect to the movie "Happy Feet" you are probably on the side of the bad people. But it's not your fault, but the fault of politicians who don't regulate the fishing industries well enough. However, in case there would be more strict regulations, so that the worldwide amount of fish would not further decline, you would probably become unemployed. So there is probably no solution that would make everybody happy.

Welcome back Gunni and nice to meet you, again!!!
I'm sure that the time with your kids and your wife was very nice and important for you... much more than taking photographs... isn't it? Meet your friends now at Ipernity and enjoy the pictures of all of them... time will come and you present some own pictures.

Take Care on your ship!
Greetings from Germany,
Sandra

Welcome back Gunnsteinn! Surely you will have some beautiful sunrises and sunsets from your ship that you can capture...also life of the people aboard could make for interesting photo ops:))

Thanks JoJo :) I have taken many photos here on the ship but I have not posted them here. I have posted some of them on my Ipernity site.
