| Dragon Mart 2 |
A number of things transpired to keep me away from working on Looking and Seeing: hot weather, planning summer vacation, and a lack of interest. I think the latter may have come from trying too hard, trying to knock the work out so I could say I finished the book. The Trungpa text, which I was reading in parallel, seemed impenetrable and just made things worse. I started to feel like maybe it was all a waste of time. It was so hot out I thought I’d work indoors and planned to spend some days at Dragon Mart. I managed only two. I found myself without much inspiration and little will to work through it. While planning for summer, I did a bit of reading in baseball and that led to starting a baseball blog. I also bought a new computer and spent some hours getting it set up.
Despite the heat, I managed to get out to Hor Al Anz for a few days and start shooting again. I focused largely on objects, ignoring people and interactions. I found that carrying the big DSLR was good for keeping all but the most curious away. Even so, a few Pakistanis insisted I take their photos.
Finally a couple of days ago I picked up the text and decided it was time to do a little more exploring.
