I am beginning to find my approach in this new location, but it’s hard. Some places are harder than others because the extra presence of a camera adds a weight to the air that doesn’t feel healthy. I don’t mean unhealthy for my wellbeing but for theirs. This is one of those places.
As a result, I’m taking far fewer pictures, which brings with it a kind of ethereal feeling. And unexpected. Instead what happens is I get to spend more time getting to know people like Clinton and Ricky (who was doing that face on purpose). Clinton is from Yazoo County in Mississippi.
You might remember this from My Cousin Vinny. I did.
But I didn’t mention that.
