• Here are photos I took of souvenirs while shooting “Smilodon” in Fiji.

  
  

  I bought these following two items for the house.

  
  

  The first vase was done by burning the wood to get rid of insects and such.  And even though the second vase was actually made in Poland, I still had to get it because it looked so cool. 

  
  

  Then they also sold Tortoise Shells like these for $21 USD.  They’re about 3′ x 2′ but could you imagine trying to explain this item to the customs people?  Plus after I took a photo behind the shell, it kinda grossed me out seeing the spine and all.  

  
  

    

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

                                                                                                 

  
  

  And all over town, vendors were selling various items carved out of fish bone depicting objects untainted by man and indigenous to these Fijian Islands surrounded by 1,500 miles of Pacific Ocean.

  
  

  Images of Turtles, Ancient Fijian Symbols and

  
  

  … the Nike “Swoosh”.
