Norfolk



I was in Norfolk today. I was photographing a woman with a brain injury. She came out of a coma convinced the world she was seeing was just a dream and longed to wake up and go back to her real life. It took her a couple of years to realize that in fact she was not in a dream but living life, her real life.

I try not to drive anywhere. Its realy easy since i don't have a car. So I see Britain via the rails. During the winter months I wait for the train on cold damp platforms. And i really enjoy it. I only wish I was not loaded down with gear, usually lights and stands and too many cameras. It would be nice to experience this with just one camera and a couple of lenses. Most jobs are portraits these days and i can't rely on the sun to help me out. Its been raining for 2 weeks and i have been lugging lights for 2 weeks.

My mind is occupied by thoughts of contracts, copyright disputes, the future of this damn business (journalism as a whole) and when its gonna stop raining so i can go cycling. and stop carrying so many godamn lights.

Does Jeff Wall suck????....Nope.

My name is Ron Zazueta I believe there is a good chance we are related. As you probably know most all Zazueta's came from the Basque area of Spain to Sinaloa, Mexico to mine in 1880's. My grandfather's name was Jose Maria zazueta. His brother was named Antonio Zazueta. We are having a Zazueta Family Reunion in Yorba Linda, California. There is a Zazueta surname in Bubers Basque Page on the internet. I receiced several inquires. Some are coming bringing there family trees. My Son Rob zazueta was doing almost the exact same thing you are doing, while at school at Cal Berekely. His e-mail is Robz@robzazueta.com...have a good day!!!....Ron
