I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark

I love this photograph! and the way it summons up a sense of how hard it can be to get from there to here.
Incidentally, I know of one great Mongolian journey movie: Joan of Arc of Mongolia. Have you ever seen it, Luke?

I think the key is tearing apart old books, stealing images from talented photoraphers, and throwing away the first 3 attempts. That, and obsessive-compulsive handwriting.
