Saturday we were off to fish at the dam at Lake Keystone, I believe, near Sand Springs, about a half hour from Nou's place in North Tulsa. We spent somewhere from 3-4 hours out there fishing for sand bass. In the heat we all took off our shirts and I was subsequently sunburned pretty badly. But no need to pity me for this.

I distinctly remember feeling exhausted after a full Thursday shoot and the next day feeling like, "damn, I wish I was at home relaxing!" I was a little tired, a little homesick maybe? Either way, after a day out on the river, I was ready to have a great Sunday and head home, mission accomplished! And if you want to talk about mission accompished, well it doesn't get any better than this!


But the day would not be without our regular metaphor hunt. As we filmed during our day of fishing I asked about the hard work that goes into B-Boying, beyond the fun. As we got home and scalled, gutted, washed, and then cooked the fish I asked them about the preparation that goes into one day being able to enjoy the success in B-boying they seek. I think at times the questions themselves might have been odd, possibly a little bit of a stretch as I tried to elicit answers that would bring forth this attempted metaphor, but all I seemed to be left with was some really tasty fish!
