I did not think to Semporna to dive, my main objective is to shoot live along the coast of Semporna, a "stateless" and Bajau tribe (Bajau Laut).
The so-called "stateless" people is born in Malaysia, Malaysian citizenship was not, but they are not Filipinos, so I put up the outer islands of the sea water houses. By the sea■ blue sky, Semporna, really beautiful.Home life for generations are all on board, is an absolute sea nomads, when the sea waves went around blowing led migration. So far, many Bajau people are still quietly practice their known
Patterns of marine life, which is why they are called "sea gypsies (Sea Gypsies)".
■ In order to protect the face is not sunburned, girls are wiping the local indigenous brewed "sunscreen."Semporna lived a lot of "no boundaries" of the sea people, forgotten by the world like a group of them, some living in wooden huts on the ocean, while others live in sparsely populated, impoverished environment outside the island.
Due to time relationship, we are unable to go to Semporna to shoot each island. In addition to the daily life of the Bajau tribe Bintang Biru great attractions of the Sea Bajau tribe village house, we went to Ao Mada Island (Pulau Omadal). Because the relationship between tide, the water level is too low, each island at low tide into the Ao Mada, must wait until high tide at noon to leave.
Innocent love taking pictures of children
Ao Mada Island is the headquarters of Bajau tribe live, and thus became a photographer to hunt human lens must visit an indicator of the island. More than a hundred families living on the island, about 500 people, compared to Bintang Biru of poverty and backwardness of the water house, the island offers Bajau tribe■ starfish.A great safe haven. Here infrastructure is OK, there are mosques, schools, small grocery stores, generators and so on, but the Bajau tribe living in the Ao Mada Island only coastal water, does not belong to Ao Mada Island residents.
Now, surprisingly blue sky, crystal clear waters can be seen scattered in many starfish. Shy smiling children on the island looking at our visit, some children in the coconut tree swing, so pristine environment, so I feel the children here without heavy academic pressure, only the sea breeze, coconut shadow, beach and swing accompanied by the growth of their carefree.
Unfortunately we can not children with language to communicate the island, had to use gestures more than words is much simpler. Apart from outside the island's children did not give them a good snack distribution, will cause the children came in groups, causing great scenes out of control. The Ao Mada island children will not tell you what else, just love pictures.Photographed them look, they smile very happy.
Step Ruaomada Island, in addition to see children swinging in the coconut tree, and follow us into the island Bajau children, but in Coconut Grove is next to graves of local residents, children is not afraid to play in the next . Ao Mada attracted me to the grave to visit the tomb of the island turned out to be a Chinese. According to the islanders said that early in the British colonial period, a pair of Chinese couple on the island to do business and more than 40 years old sick lady died there was no boat would be sent to Semporna town, remains buried only buried in island, but then you husband and children moved to live in Semporna mayor. Therefore, buried his wife on the island at Ao Mada except in clear, its future generations will come to worship, if events in the body, the mayor asked commanded to worship.
Ao Mada Island coast Bajau tribe lived in the sea, although Bajau tribe lived in their right close, because they have no national boundaries, Bajau tribe is not accepted, including health care and education. Sea Bajau tribe naked children at sea, but will be dressed up to the island, at the very least put on some briefs. True, they is not no education, just not accepted by everyone, and is forced by the living environment.
Gradual sea tide in the afternoon, Ao Mada Island beach immediately attracted a large number of innocent children lovely Bajau tribe to swimming, where they moved for the children play water into heaven. In the innocent and lovely village boy who waved goodbye to the sound of fond memories, we finally left the island of unforgettable Ao Mada.
Way to see the tens of thousands of plastic bottles floating in the sea, which is seaweed farming methods to local fishermen, so seaweed attached to the bottles on the growth of rice planting in the land as plastic bottles like seaweed farms really great people eye-opener.
Semporna is a beautiful and rich of the Pure Land, appeared to be ordinary, but as long as you have insight, you will find it from the ordinary in an extraordinary place, it lurks moving vitality, you will feel the sea's broad, wide , and the childhood of intimacy. Shooting sea nomads living environment, children living, in addition to record the real life of a nation, and Semporna beautiful, unique charm and charming style, but also■ Islanders live in island living by fishing and seaweed.Showing the rich cultural connotations and philosophical reflection, is that many photographers photographic paradise, its neighboring sea islands is rich and diverse marine and submarine divers from around the world rush to come to visit the photographer's why.
Semporna color boat festival
Semporna Bajau tribe's boatman, are held in April this year the ship section and the traditional color, eye-catching yacht race, will be parked along the coast was full of colorful decoration, known as riba (Lepa) of the vessel, so that Semporna town atmosphere boiling up. These in mangrove (color Rajat) made of the boat, elegant stylized vessel, is known as sea gypsies, known as Bajau tribe, proud of the traditional cultural treasures. Their ships, from stern to bow, mast, etc., are crafted to carve the rich marine and religious atmosphere, such as wave ripples, fish, mermaids, and the hippocampus of the patterns.
Boat Festival in color, each ship will sail hung with vivid colors, and numerous small banner. Festival is the climax of the array in the row boat team color to swing off the shore by boats, each boat group has musicians play music, dance dancers smiling and look forward to be appreciated and to win the annual "the most beautiful Reba" Award of the moment. Exciting fun games and contests such as tug boats, canoeing and rowing competitions, will also be carried out in that time, many unexpected conditions, certainly makes interesting reading.
Think of "travel" really is out of love for life, or tired? Maybe it gave me back the feeling, I felt after the break is a must go on the road. The reason I chose to travel, at least not happy not happy, able to travel to redeem themselves.
For me, life is hello and goodbye keep talking. The journey is the kind of life enrichment. It allows you to fall in love in a very short time, a local who had a shorter period of time say goodbye to it. Walking is an attitude, both on life or on their own. "Escape the escape of the walk, give yourself a chance to create a pretext to take advantage of a good travel young, near and far anyway, outside the house as if it is calle
