There is something to be said for a quiet and calm abandonement. No street noise, no sound of scrappers at work. Quiet enough that you hear the occasional drop of water falling into a puddle.
So often you have to momentarily forget about photography to really experience and feel your surroundings. Yet, sometimes that moment occurs while doing something as simple as setting up the shot. Despite the frantic pace at which we were shooting here (only had about an hour) that feeling of quiet, calm, and immersion in the surroundings came upon me while setting up.
