Revisiting my Shirazi home

This time around, I sadly didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I wanted to. I was pretty focused on interviews, interviews, interviews. I shot for 30 interviews in each of the villages I visited, but I ended up overshooting it in Shirazi. It was easy enough to do more because the people were more familiar and welcoming. At times, it was kind of fun. My questions probably seemed strange (ex: how do you feel when you have malaria?) but almost everyone was open to my inquiries.

I managed to snag some more shots of where I was living so you can see how typical homes are structured in the villages.

View into the main room, where we ate and sat at night.

My room. I had just taken down the mosquito net, so picture that hanging from the ceiling as well.

The cho (bathroom). Stand on the concrete slabs and pour. Night showers were surreal...so many stars and palm trees.

Chicken home in the space between the house and kitchen. They roam free throughout the house during the day. 

The kitchen. The three tubs are water, rice, and unknown.

The stove

Dishes and community platters.

 Anyway, this is a little look at my home for the past couple weeks. Most homes are similar; they have really adapted them to the climate and their activities. Some homes have iron sheets instead of thatched roofs, but I think the thatched homes are breezier.
