The Other Victims of 9/11

Published on the 20th #anniversary of 9/11, this is a series of reported essays describing how the attacks that day and the “war on terror” that followed changed the lives of people outside the United States. Nearly 1 million people have died in #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Pakistan, #Syria and #Yemen as a result of these post-9/11 wars, according to the Costs of #War project at Brown University. The wars have displaced 38 million people from these countries, as well as #Libya, the #Philippines and #Somalia.

Coincidence
There is a #project I have always wanted to formalize. I'd like to scan in every #photo I've ever taken and attach a date to it, if possible. Then on every #anniversary of every photo, try to go back to the same places and recreate the photo. Not every circumstance. For instance, if there are people in the original photo, I don't have to get the people and haul them out to the original place and make them wear the same clothes. I just want to take another picture of the same place, that's all.

To this strange end, I have periodically attempted to get all my data in one place, and in one format. I want a folder with every photo ever in it. In file structure I guess it should look like: photos/2008/12/07/001.jpg, etc… Something like that. I have it, more or less, though scattered over several drives. And I managed to make a #list today. It's an #index. It's simple. It goes:

01 01 2008
01 01 2011
01 01 2012
01 01 2013
01 01 2014
01 01 2017
01 01 2020
01 01 2021

01 02 2008
01 02 2011
…

And so on. This lets me know if I should even bother looking on any given day for photos to recreate. So, today, i do have some photos I can recreate. I found one for certain. But the others were mysterious. I tried to retrace my steps by looking in old electronic journal entries. There was no helpful information. But the old electronic journal entry had a cryptic "slug":

#meta 2016/08/15 M 0716 Photo list from XXXXX, page 5.

And when I looked at the old paper journal (XXXXX) on page 5, I had, in fact, listed a series of descriptions and dates of photos I'd taken in 1998. I had the same idea on August 15th in 1998. And then on August 15th in 2016. And now on August 15tth in 2021 I was again reviving the same idea. Keep track of when and where I take photos so that I might recreate them in the future.

This sort of thing happens to me frequently. I apparently have some idea "out of the blue." I know that I have had similar ideas in the past, and when I go rummaging through my archives, such as they are, I find a trail revealing that not only was I thinking the same thing in the past. I was thinking the same thing on the same day. #Coincidence? Yes. But coincidences are so #eerie.
