Chart for color reference. It was pretty hot in Tunisia and the sun was pretty intense. One of the locals taught me how to tie a “sheesh” and I made use of that knowledge every day!

“SOPWAMTOS” on the shirt stood for “Society Of People Who Actually Make Their Own Shit.

The tables are turned as I photograph onset photographer Keith Hamshere holding a slate for me. In bg unidentified, Trevor Coop, Pete Myslowski, unidentified and Trisha Biggars.
My good friend Simon Dunsden does the same. In the immediate BG John Duclos from ARRI and behind him in arctic parka Camera Operator Trevor Coop.
I don’t recall whether the producer was giving me sympathy or advice... or perhaps he was just jealous of my “sheesh”! It was so hot that day that we tried to fry an egg on a plucky little blue and white fella.
