June 6--Pier

at 3:30 this afternoon

I'm sitting on the Santa Monica pier, thumbing through a book on Sudan, and listening to a street musician playing guitar. I have been here for a while, after seeing a photography exhibit at a local museum. It was an exhibit on the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1992, and the genocide that is currently occurring in the Darfur region of Sudan. I went there to see a photography exhibit on the LA river, but, by chance, found this instead. The photographs were taken by a woman named Michal Ronnen Safdie.
