Andy is doing a lot of recording on the natives elders, medicinal plants and birds.
His website is moggieworld.
Maureen is Lun Bawang born and bred in Ba Kelalan.
THis is the first time they are following us and with Maureen speaking Penan, it really break the ice with the Penan. They feel not that shy or quiet anymore.
Anyway Andy is a superb communicator and speak Malay fluently so the PR side is also covered. Even though he is a avid photgrapher, he first meet the folks and talk to them instead of pulling his camera to shoot shoot shoot.
That what happened to some of our trips where photographers don't have the friendly side of PR. They just point the camera on the Penan and start shooting like they are model. After that they just walk off and don't even sit down for a conversation.
