On photos and people and chicken fajitas
One of the first things I did when I got to HBU was take pictures of their facilities. I waited patiently until everyone left so no one would be in my pictures. I have several pictures of an empty computer lab. The pictures came out well.
I recently started Barbara Rogoff's book on The Cultural Nature of Human Development. I finished Chapter Two as I was waiting for my margarita chicken fajitas at a Mexican Cantina here in town. (Yes, the fajitas were as good as they sound!)Rogoff has an interesting series of 6 figures at the end of that chapter which she uses to illustrate her notion that individuals and culture are mutually constitutive. The caption on the last figure made me realize what a silly mistake I had nearly made - thankfully not in the focus of my research, but in my representation of it. So, I'm taking the camera back with me for the rest of my time here. This is most definitely NOT about an empty computer lab and I won't be including any pictures of one!
