Stubbs, R. 1963 84 Asian Trip Karachi Jan. 20 Day spent in picture taking, both movies and stills. Went out with movie ticketer, the young lawyer and a driver from the Asia Foundation in a microbus (Volkswagen). Excellent for photography because front wind- shield could be lifted and I could shoot out the front with nothing to obstruct the view. Jim Otefield turned our car and driver (at no cost) for the day. Went first to the railroad station. Photographed people getting off the train. Many types and great variety of dress. People seen carrying suitcases, bed clothing, etc. on top their heads. Finally a policeman sent us on our way, saying the station master objected. We then went to the docks where I got shots of sailboats. It was Sunday and people were taking rides for pleasure. After leaving Monte said with a grin, that it was a restricted area. Went to a place called Dhoib Ghat where hundreds of native men and women were washing clothing. The site is along a broad water course surrounded by sand lands. A strip of green follows the stream and a crazy quilt of sheets, etc. white, red and all colors was spread
