Philadelphia-based photographer Susan Bank was drawn to a different side of the island nation, however. She wanted to go beyond the borders of the big city and back even farther in time. Toting an unobtrusive 35 mm Leica, Ms. Bank traveled to Cuba’s rural Pinar del Rio province and got to know the people well enough to move in with them.

Unfortunately, this high level of imagery is due more to the improvements in camera technology, not by any advancement in the vision of the photographers themselves.

You may have been attuned to all the recent leaks, buzz and rumors of a new Nikon camera coming soon, but I can assure you, this here ain’t no rumor. It’s the real deal and I know so because my crew and I spent several weeks testing and experimenting with this gem months in advance of today’s release, and our efforts make up the launch campaign.

Now I know why Chase Jarvis has been grinning like an idiot for the last few months. He had, like, five pre-production, gaffer-tape-disguised Nikon D90 cameras to play with. And Mr. “Ironclad NDA” couldn’t say a peep about it.

The Taliban bomber calmly parked a white fuel tanker near the prison gates of this city one evening in June, then jumped down from the cab and let out a laugh. Prison guards fired on the bomber as he ran off, but they missed, instead killing the son of a local shopkeeper, Muhammad Daoud, who watched the scene unfold from across the street.
Seconds later, the Taliban fired a rocket-propelled grenade into the tanker, setting off an explosion that killed the prison guards, destroyed nearby buildings, and opened a breach in the prison walls as wide as a highway. Nearly 900 prisoners escaped, 350 of them members of the Taliban, in one of the worst security lapses in Afghanistan in the six years since the United States intervention here.
