Seven stills from the footage of our film Murghab, selected for an excercise during the workshop Writing with Light back in May in Austin, Texas. The theme was My Habitat and the task was to choose images and write captions.

I had just come back from a two-week editing retreat. Watching our footage over and over again, working it during the day and dreaming it at night, I somehow felt that there was no other place I “inhabited” more than Murghab, the town in the Tajik Pamirs we portray.

The format of this blog doesn't lend itself well to images with captions, but here they are, in the order above.

  1. Auto Service Station Murgab; 93 – 8 Somoni; 80 – 7.6 Somoni; diesel –
  2. For sale. 019 26 80 56.
  3. “Greening Murgab” left a tree. The pole in the centre is a gift by the Chinese government.
  4. Listen to the wind.
  5. The willow loves the roof of the mosque. It seems to me.
  6. ZIL135. Why are they all blue?
