Timbuktu is unqualifiedly a brilliant film—and soon I will post a review of it; mostly I will quote other smartly written reviews and just add personal notes of what it meant to me.
Before publishing the review, I want to share two or three small photo albums from my 2010 trip to Mali.
This is partly to give me a little more writing time, but also to help me narrow down which photo I will eventually frame to remember that trip. These first few aren’t in contention for framed photo—rather I am so deep into travel planning mode these day that I’m thinking maybe some photos reminding me of the more mundane aspects of travel might calm me down.
