So I went up there and I lived with these guys out in their whaling camp here, and photographed the entire experience, beginning with the taxi ride to Newark airport in New York, and ending with the butchering of the second whale, seven-and-a-half days later. 所以,我去到那里并和这些人生活在一起 在捕鲸营地露营,拍摄这整个经历, 从纽约搭计程车到纽瓦克机场, 7天后,目睹了这一刻捕杀鲸鱼的过程,
