The first 45 years, a retrospective by Abbas in Germany

For almost 45 years I have roamed the world, in search of images of upheaval; initially political and social, then later, religious.  Retrospectives are best done when the photographer is no longer around – there will be no surprises then. Or so I thought until the National Museum of Singapore suggested I have one. It is now being shown in the Stathaus of Ulm, Germany.  As I am still roaming the world, let’s just consider this retrospective, (with some humility – who knows how many more years I shall roam?)
