Flying to the Bahamas

Mr. Hunter and family recently braved the heat and humidity of July in the Bahamas.  Here's Mr. Hunter admiring the view on the flight out to New Providence Island.


We'd been flying for awhile when we saw this island.
It could be Bimini.

Here's some video of when we were flying over the northeastern section of Andros Island.  I love the blues and blue-greens.


We were on a prop plane,
and the camera gave the propellers a notable look.

Concerts: The Wall

Flat Mr. Hunter saw Roger Waters on his The Wall Live concert tour.  


Throughout the show, the wall onstage gets built up, brick by brick, 
until finally Roger Waters and the band are playing behind--and totally hidden by--the wall.


Our seats turned out to be just below where this Stuka Dive Bomber airplane prop was hanging.  Early on in the show (at the end of "In the Flesh?"), the plane gets released and soars across the arena on a wire until it crashes into a corner of the wall.


Blurry shot of kids onstage singing Another Brick in the Wall, Part II.
The wall is still being built at this point.

During "In the Flesh".  The Pig has taken flight.
Notice how the wall is also used as a video screen.

The wall has come down.

One of the most striking things about this concert was how Roger Waters exuded such enthusiasm and joy, especially at the end of the the show.  And there were moments when the visuals meshed with the music so completely that it was almost synesthetic.  

Such a moving show.  What a gift to see and hear "The Wall" played live...

Meet Mr. Hunter Jr. - the first flat Mr. Hunter!

The first Flat Mr. Hunter -- actually a set of flat Mr. Hunters -- was inspired by Allyson, one of the original Mr. H's most favorite people and a star of many a classic Mr. Hunter photograph.  

Allyson and her husband embarked on an around-the-world journey in 2006, and Mr. Hunter couldn't resist the chance to send some flat ambassadors along for the ride. 



First stop... Fiji!
