I returned last night from a very frustrating trip to Dubai. I’ve always known integrity is rare in the business world; now I add decisiveness. People are so busy covering their backs. Half – if not more – of their energy is invested in avoiding decisions. Result in our case: A year’s work – of putting small pieces together for a business deal – fell apart yesterday because of one man. He was born without a spine.
Anyway, this is a positive blog, and positive it shall remain. My meeting was in Jebel Ali and I had to rent a car to go in. I therefore had some free time in the afternoon, and for the first time in Dubai I had a car. I’ve driven there before, but I was stuck often there with colleagues. Non-photographers are not as patient when, say, we’re waiting for the sun to be at exactly the right angle…
