hi there, street fair

waiting for health

at a health clinic for native americans out in the eastern part of the state. the place was set up at a gym and people waited so patiently all day for new glasses or to see a dentist. despite the fact that this was the first clinic of this organization on a utahn reservation and that access to health care for native americans is dismal here, no huge crowds showed. but the ones who came, deeply appreciated it.

girl in bar

I went back to berlin for a few days. kind of a strange quick trip where when you get back home it feels like you never went.
she was french.

barton springs I

I spent a couple of days at barton springs in austin. people there are more than a little proud of their natural spring-fed swimming pool. they regard it a mystical place. they flock to it to swim laps in the pitch black morning hours. they let the day's heat pass hanging out on bright-colored rubber floaties. they stand in clusters at night - friends and friends and friends of friends of friends of friends. on the other side of a fence dog owners and those not willing to shell out three bucks hang in the shallow natural swimming hole.
lately my story ideas have revolved around harder news angles. i think hanging out at the springs brought a lot of playfulness back into my photography. dangling my legs in the water or laying in the grass, i wasn't just there to 'cover' but to enjoy this place with everyone around me.
this is a really lose edit, a tighter one will be on my web site soon.
