In Yemen, a Photographer With No Name

Samuel Aranda worked anonymously for weeks in Yemen, where he was the only Western photographer shooting for a number of weeks. Last week, his name began to appear with his images published in The New York Times.

It has been hard much of this year for Western photojournalists to enter Yemen to cover the political turmoil of the Arab Spring. It took Samuel Aranda more than a month to find a safe way into the country, giving him plenty of time to ponder what it would be like working in the deeply divided nation, where hundreds have died in protests.
