A little bit of history... This project is the one that started it all for me. Back in 2003 I had just returned to college after my second season of working on Cruise Ships in the Caribbean. Over the summer I'd witnessed working conditions, requirements and events that, in the US, would be considered absurd and it gutted me. So a few months later, after working closely with my professors and other tech experts, I purchased a small camera (top of the line, 3-CCD, before the huge HD explosion that was as good as it got in the prosumer sector) and went back to ships for another summer. While there I shot GP Housekeeping , the story of Erwin , a Cruise Ship Cabin Steward. (Apologies for the so-so quality, the documentary is 15 minutes long, so I had to compress this quite a bit to meet blogger video requirements)
