Waterwalker; a delightful classic.

Post by marclamenace »

Probably some of you already knew and sorry if I go double-post here but the folks at ONF recently made available for free online viewing a whole bunch of their productions in full definition, including the classic Waterwalker by Bill Mason.

What else can I say? I'm wordless... An hour ago it felt like I was there myself... That's pretty bad for office productivity! :roll:

Needless to say the gears have evolved a bit since that time... You do get a feel of the man's passion as he says he is on water until it freezes over, sipping on a tea cup from a wooden box of goodies that was burried in a non-dry bag in its wooden craft... You can guess drysuits were probably out of question as well.

those other Bill mason videos are pretty neat also. Couldnt understand a word on some with no subtitles but great to watch anyway.
