BEFORE - Waiting - Karachi, Pakistan
These men were sitting on a roundabout hoping they would be picked up and given a days work. The situation was tense and I was keenly aware of the different lived experiences of these men and myself. As we drove off in our air-conditioned car I reflected on the relative nature of interest, worry and fear.
This is from series of photos that I took in North Africa and the Middle East in 2008. I was lucky enough to travel through these areas a few years before the current destabilization. In my solo travels from Morocco to Pakistan I experienced nothing but warmth and generosity from the people I met. Without the help and support of countless strangers it would have been impossible to complete this long overland journey.
