Kosovo, 2003
In the first year of vj schooling, I went to Kosovo. I literally wandered around for 7 weeks trying to find a story. My albanian fixer’s father got held for questioning by the UN regarding his actions during the conflict and so my fixer had to stay with his father in their village. Five days in, I found my self with out a driver, translator, or guide. No story. I learned a lot during that time, and I want to share some of that here. Over the next couple of days I’ll be posting a few lessons that all up coming journalists, and all story tellers need to know. Cheers, Jon

Ups and Downs:The Art of Making, Hacking, and Hunting to create a documentary in South Sudan
A coffee induced moment of clarity:
It looks like it’s working, though the charger is a little hot…. I may have to keep an eye on the rig when I do go to charge the battery in the future.
But it’s working, and right now that’s a good step.
Waiting is the hardest part of working here in Juba for me. I don’t mind the power outages, I know how to prepare and work with them. I don’t mind having spotty internet or unreliable connectivity. I wish I had less gear to haul around, but that’s more about choices I’ve made than the environment. What’s been hard is waiting to start.
It took half a day to get all my journalism paperwork squared away so I could shoot in public legally. It wasn’t until yesterday that I was able to get my first interview with Kuol. I have exchanged a total of two text messages with KongKong, both short, both mildly hopeful. He’s working out of town but might be back for a few days before I leave. That’s all I know right now
The weather is hot, the light is difficult, and contacts take time to establish. communication is slow.
But if you are patient, if you have planned and shored up your loose ends. You can pounce when the opportunity strikes.
Oh God, that I can be a patient man.
I hate waiting.
