I did not take this picture: it is of me

Feature: Kuwait

Shortly after the first Gulf War, I traveled to Kuwait to assist in teaching television news production there. And of course I made pictures, and these are some of them.

I did not take this picture: it is of me

My friend Jeff Young took it. I'm in an Iraqi bunker near Kuwait City. Saddam's army booby trapped some of these on the way out, but this one was safe, or I was too booby even for them.

In modern Kuwait City . . .

. . . there are areas that seem unchanged for decades, perhaps centuries.

Street vendors are common

It rarely rains in Kuwait, so there's no problem having goods out in the open.

Kuwait Towers and the Persian Gulf

The beach is attractive, but beachgoing is not the passion there that it is in the states. This may be due to the fact that even the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf are infested with sharks. Seabirds are plentiful, and the beach is a great place for a walk.

Kuwait Towers

I like the other picture, with the strolling couple, better. But I waded into the shark-infested Persian Gulf to make this picture, and I'm damned well going to use it! Kuwait Towers are the landmark of that city, the way the World Trade Center . . . never mind.
