In my line of work, you tend to spend almost as much time with a cameraman as with your spouse. I worked with the same cameraman, Egay Navarro, for more than 10 years. If he didn’t get sick and pass away in 2013, we’d probably still be shooting together. Ten years later, I think about him whenever — whenever I need motivation to keep shooting after three decades of documentary-making, whenever I want to smile to myself (because he was amusing in his childlike demeanor), and just whenever, like these days at the end of October and early November when we think about those who have gone ahead. Egay taught me a lot of things, but most of all he showed me how to lead an interesting life.
