Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – We arrived in Khiva, while the diminutive light started lowering on the horizon. Before losing all light we set out for a jaunt, trying to take in as much before settling in for the night. On my wander around in admiration of the colourful mosaic tiles with varying hues of greens and turquoise, I discovered a curious photographer with his gilded gold chair. It took a few days to convince the matriarch to let me immortalize her moment with a super touristy snapshot next to the Kalta Minor Minaret. Looking back at the costume and resisting expression, still makes me laugh.
