With this section of this photo journal, I’m just gonna let the pictures speak for themselves as a picture is worth a thousand words as we all know.

Very much enjoyed this blog and the wonderful photographs. You should consider making them available to a photo archive such as the Micronesian Seminar or the University of Hawaii. I am very interested in the life and handicrafts of Micronesia and have written the book Arts and Crafts of Micronesia. Check out my facebook page by that name.
These are nice pictures Damon. I am from the island of Eauripik, I reside in Washington state now. I was 12 years old when some of these pictures were taken. I reconized some of the people in some of these pictures. Thank you for sharing these pictures. Nice to see pictures from awhile back.
Thanks again,
David
Aloha.
Mahalo Damon for sharing these priceless shots! Love it! Not a t-shirt in sight. (except for the visitors–the things people retain.) Beautiful people living a beautiful life with all the ups and downs. Wonderful family history.
I was peace corps volunteer in Samoa. Maybe similar to Yap in the way life changes yet stays the same. (Hate to say though how the ecology the people depend on is tanking.) Really enjoyed the journal entries. Thanks for sharing a special time.
Be well, Paulo.
