fruits in season (June 2015)

June is peak mango season in this part of the world. There were mangoes being sold everywhere. Huge truckloads being taken in from the villages to the market towns, here in Tekondogo in southern Burkina Faso. Being in season, the mangos were so cheap. You could get five or more mangoes for the equivalent ofContinue reading “fruits in season (June 2015)”

the last month of thesis writing (May 2015)

The month of May is a blur. I don’t remember anymore what I did, except long days of trying to write and making figures, in the computer lab in the Geoscience building together with Roweena and Jessica (among others), and alone at home.

Instead, I invited my two oldest and closest friends over for dinner. Because cooking, for me, when done with time and purpose, carries no stress. ItContinue reading “#3: To cook for someone (February 14th)”

fruitoshoot vol. 2

One of my last days in La Paz, Natalia and I bought all the fruits that we had been eating while we were there, and took photographs with them. We had a fruitoshoot. Now, with the little assortment of fruits that I came home with from the market, I felt I wanted to repeat theContinue reading “fruitoshoot vol. 2”
