Wrapping Up…
- Paustino Jada, the catechist of the church in Palotaka, Sudan. During the war here, he was captured and tortured by the Lord’s Resistance Army, but escaped and returned home to this village, where he now cares for the church.
As you can see from the dates on my blog, I haven’t posted new entries lately. But as we all know, when you get work, that takes priority. I spent much of the summer working in Africa for an NGO, photographing in Nigeria, Malawi and southern Sudan, trying to capture life there in advance of whatever changes result from the election coming up in January. You can see a small amount of my Sudan work here.
I’m also posting a few pieces that I wrote over the past year, but didn’t have time to post. I hope you enjoy them.
Earlier this month, I gave a talk at the wonderful Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles. This is a remarkable new showplace, curated by Pat Lanza, who is doing a great job attracting interesting exhibits and speakers, making this a real centerpiece on the contemporary photography scene. Steven Crandell of the Huffington Post wrote a very nice column on my talk, which you can read here.
More frequent posts to come in 2011. In the meantime, I hope the holiday season is a good one for you and your loved ones.
