I am currently spending my first research week on the island. My main objective during this stay is to arrange future stays, check out the general way things have changed in the course of the last 10+ years, get back into touch with people, and take a lot of photographs of the island\u2019s coastline, nature, buildings, places, and people. Some of the photos serve more or less aesthetic purposes, documenting the attractions and peculiarities of this place, others serve as a background for future assessments or comparisons.<br \/>\nTime passes both more slowly and more quickly here. To keep a grip on this and the many other things and thoughts that I encounter here, I have started writing a more thorough log than I did for any of my past research projects. I am pretty sure solid logging practices (as recommended by Lofland &#038; Lofland in their great book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomsonedu.com\/thomsonedu\/student.do?page=home&#038;dispnum=null&#038;keyfor=allsite&#038;keyitem=all&#038;keyword=analyzing%20social%20settings&#038;keytype=searchall&#038;resultfor=higheredu&#038;resulttype=student&#038;pagefrom=search&#038;disciplinenumber=14&#038;product_isbn=0534528619&#038;contextelement=http:\/\/www.thomsonedu.com\/thomsonedu\" title=\"most excellent book on ethnographic fieldwork and how to do it\"><em>Analyzing Social Settings<\/em><\/a>) are a very good idea for a long-term project such as mine.
