permission to shoot at Pan market, they say NO, I am trying to embarass them, arguments. Go in search of the Prime Minister of Pan long rambling discussions, etc, to come back tomorrow. Long verbal fights people getting upset shoot in street rest of morning. Lunch, home, rest , see tutor in evening, he is sending his wife away for 2 years so he can study for his M.A. alone, endless sacrifice to little avail. Home wedding going on but I do not feel like photographing.
