I was handing a piece of finished work in at the writing room yesterday for my scripts tutor, dr. mariel land. I think she had an appointment to make, so her husband was there. I like mariel – as well as being a good teacher, she’s a pretty cool person. For one, she was giving away chocolate.

I got talking to mr lland – mariel introduced us. He was quite an interesting fellow, it turns out – an anthropologist. I asked if he was a scientist.

‘I’m a cameraman for the bbc’ he said. It turns out that this guy is actually a good acquaintance of sir David Attenborough. I went into squeal mode upon hearing this! Sir David is one of my all time heroes. Mr lland had been all around the world, to places like Borneo, the Amazon etc, taking the most wonderful photographs. He told me how his anthropology work has lead him to meet peoples who have only just made contact with western society. What an adventure that must be.

The mystery is I cant find his website: he showed it to me during our conversation, and I think I’d like to check it out. He said we could keep in contact, and I’d love to. However, I can’t find his site anywhere, despite several hours on google. The internet can be so frustrating sometimes!
