There's More?

3. Describe three surprises or unexpected situations you encountered on your Drifts and in the days that followed. The surprise could stem from your expectations that conflicted with "on the ground" realities, cultural or social issues of which you were previously unaware, feelings and reactions that you did not expect to have, appearances and soundings of things you did not expect, good or bad outcomes of "on the spot" decisions you had to make, or the discovery of "deeper" realities in the materials you brought home. (Again, skip anything technology-related!)

**Wow. I think one of the biggest surprises I've had is how different material seems later. While your out and about things seem different, often they appear to have more potential but when in editing I found stuff I have overlooked suddenly became my stronger material that I loved to work with. I also found that there's so much in the world to capture it's mind boggling. I've bounced between nature and man made objects only to find as opposite as these things are they mesh so well.
