On the first day of a three-day spree of photo assignments in various UAE markets, the interns were dropped off at the main souk in Sharjah just as the market reopened after its midday “it’s-way-too-hot-to-stay-open” break. The assignment was to photograph the modern Islamic elements in the building, which, at this point, was boring me. …

I have too many photos from my three-week internship in Dubai to only share one from each day. Now that I’m back in Bishkek and my life is back to being slightly less exciting, I figured I would post some particularly interesting occurrences.

Dubai: Day 1
Baaah, okay. All it took was one snarky comment from my father (who’s biking across America at the moment, go check out his blog!) and I’ve had to do some growing up and re-evaluating of my current situation. I’m in Dubai, for free, learning photography. Yes, the living situation is sort of f***ed up (see …
