[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Human Rights Watch has been tracking the case of a young female Uzbek photographer who has made authorities angry because her pictures capture aspects of life they find embarassing and politically charged. The photographs themselves -- a dozen of them on the HRW web site -- are very good, very Leica-M8-looking to my eye; plus I thought luggers in general would want to be aware of the political consequences in some parts of the world that come from photographing, for instance, a weeping bride embracing her father. Check out the site and the photos here: http://www.hrw.org/en/features/umida-ahmedova-photographer-facing-trial Many thanks for taking a look.
