One morning in Lima
Saturday, January 31st, 2009My partner in this exercise, Hannah Pospisil eating a banana we had just bought during our morning walk in Lima
When the Pospisils were in Lima in November and December I would often take Hannah for a walk early in the morning. Going for a walk in Lima is an entirely different experience to talking a walk in say Sydney.
In the areas where we walked, around San Miguel, I never felt threatened by a person in any way. However, I can’t say the say the same about the traffic – which really is the biggest danger.
That aside, one idea that intrigues me is the idea of “the ordinaryâ€, or more precisely, the idea of actually looking at ordinary things rather than letting them slip into the background.
With this in mind I set out one morning with Hannah to take pictures of things that we saw on our way – both the ordinary and the odd. The only thing that ties these images together is that Hannah and I saw all of them on the morning of November 29, 2008.
