8-year-old Elsa Stevenson, narrator of the award winning documentary Where The Whales Sing produced by her father Andrew Stevenson (founder of the Humpback Whale Research Project, Bermuda) has her first encounter for an hour and a half with a female, calf and escort humpack whale.
On his blog & daily diary Andrew says;
At times they seemed more interested in her than vice versa. I am sure they recognised that she was a human ‘calf’. The mother repeatedly swam towards us within ten feet and less to look while her calf hid underneath. Elsa also used her own underwater camera to film two ‘dancers’ that danced around us, apparently more interested in wooing us than each other. This was her favourite experience.
For a year and a half she has been a member of a swim club and swum three times a week, one and a half hours per session, to become proficient enough at swimming that I would take her with me. In the end, she was like a squid, darting about here and there and with my 55-pound camera I was incapable of keeping up with her.

Perhaps new recruits for a Burnt House Hill Productions Summer of 2012 Cliff Diving shoot? 🙂
After the dives, shooting and a slight drizzle the boys headed West along South Shore on their mopeds with the camera still rolling. At the bottom of Barnes corner, slippery roads (and a possible oil patch?) caused a minor wipe out for Riz and consequentially Higgs bringing up the rear! Was the “deck” staged?
Who knows!? But on the bright side; looks like Riz didn’t catch a dose of “Bermuda Road Rash” and the “Don’t worry. Be happy” vid is able to finish on the light note that it started. 🙂

Trevor Todd is an artist, but, he spends a good portion of his year working in the local quarry yards of Bermuda, harvesting limestone bedrock into the blocks and slabs that will form the walls and slate the roofs that Bermudians live under.
It’s not the most appealing of occupations to most, but for Trevor this work will pay the bills, bank enough money for a month or so of travel per year, and allow him to buy the supplies he needs for his real passion: making art.
Creatively employing different mediums, including industrial items such as hex-nuts and sawdust from PVC-piping, Trevor creates pieces that reflect his themes of journeying and ‘cosmic consciousness’, a philosophy that he says involves meditating on inner-knowledge, self-awareness and being content.
N.B. Bermuda is a rock that emerged from the ocean floor millions of years ago as an erupting volcano, and thanks to the living organisms that became our coral reef, a limestone cap formed above that volcano. For the last 388 years (at least), we have carved and sculpted the landscape out of this solidified calcium carbonate, into the houses, roads and walls that constitute our island community’s infrastructure.
Trevor contributes to the definition and re-definition of Bermuda’s landscape through art.
