Sarah

Some musical nomads came through my town and made their lean-to out of The Bottletree for a few hours. Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground blazed an outstanding sonic path for mister Damien Jurado this past Thursday, to the delight, I'd say, to all in the house. Members of (new crush band) Kay Kay backed him as he presented loads of songs from the recently released Saint Bartlett.

The bonus to all this lovely music is that the glorious and talented photographer Sarah Jurado has put on her management pants and came along with the whole crew...AND let me follow her around with a camera. I still have other film to develop but here (above) is one I like from this first roll. More to come (as well as eventually better scans).

Day 048

Another group shot. This time at the home garden of one of the women who volunteers at the Allen Stone Clinic in Bujagali. This is her family, including kiddos, and parents. Her husband is not present, but it isn't because he died of AIDS, as is pretty common, sadly. In Sarah's case it is that he was pretty awful to her and their religious beliefs also were splitting and she couldn't be with him any more, so she packed up the kids and headed out. I have audio of her story somewhere. Talk about courage...she seems to have it (especially in her context)..

Day 041

So I realized I've been slacking on the details part.

Today I took only one frame. I took it of Shawn / Sean (not sure) whom I met through Allison whom I met via Bob.

I'm tired. Kevin is back in town.
