After three painful days out with a fever, I finally made it out for a measly 100 shots. And they weren’t great shots either, but it was enough. It was a start. Worked from 12 to 3pm.
- It was a Friday after a pretty significant religious day (called Shobobhor night where Muslims pray all night) and the roads and gathering places were deserted. It was eery to see a city whose natural state is to bustle, fall silent like that. I was just happy to be out and shooting, and I didn’t care so much about working hard. I tired pretty quickly and caught the bus back from Gulistan.
- Technically, lots of focus issues. Over bright exposures (perhaps ghosting) and I didn’t really add to the sets.
- Only shot 10-15 headshots, and none were very good (or new). Didn’t work at night as I had something to go to.
- Saw another fight but once I got there, the kids were so distracted by my taking photos that they stopped fighting. That disappointed everybody.
- I was really happy to publish the burqa set, and people seemed to like them.
Why tomorrow will be better
- Although I’m still not feeling great, I need to put in a bigger effort tomorrow into time spent on the streets.
- Also the priority now should be the night work, as I suspect I have just enough for the headshots series.
