::: The Travel Photographer :::: Jehad Nga: Turkana
Jehad Nga: Turkana travel photographer Link: http://thetravelphotographer.blogspot.com/2009/12/jehad-nga-turkana.html I’ve described Jehad Nga as being a master of chiaroscuro and his new work Turkana just reaffirms and even compounds this well-deserved appellation. His new work is just beautiful and details of each photograph must be slowly absorbed. In Jehad’s photography, I guess less is more…and his play…

Sides of the Wire: America in Afghanistan – The Digital Journalist
by David Bathgate It was in early March 2002 when I first arrived in Kabul – just weeks before springtime and Nawroz, the Persian New Year.
