Today has been a good but confusing day. This morning I photographed a circumcision in a settlement. I think I got some good pics. Then I went to a settlement next to Jericho and the new autonomous zone for Palestinians. Things finished up early, so I went into Jericho, saw my first official Palestinian policeman and soaked up the festive and surreal (especially for the Arabs) atmosphere of a town without Israeli Security Forces.
My personal work here is done for now, and I’ll leave with some confusion. Not having had enough time to get firmly planted in this project, but having seen enough to believe there is something interesting and worthwhile to capture.
By the way, tomorrow I have an assignment to photograph Hanan Ashrawi, the PLO spokesperson, for the NY Times Magazine. It will be very interesting, and I’ll be anxious to talk about the settlements. Except only after I’ve got the pics! So, can you put up with my lifestyle and work? If so, I need to know. Will you work with me if I work with you? Please think about this very crucial issue, ’cause I want to know … then we can know how to proceed from here …
Get my drift? LOVE
