Tor Eigeland - credible news media is more important today than ever
On the memorable January 8, 1959, Fidel triumphantly entered Havana. He had won his "revolutión." I didn't get to talk to him the first time, but I did manage to exchange a few words with Raul Castro, Fidel's brother. Raul told me that in the city of Camaguey they would be trying and dismembering counter-revolutionaries and would I be willing to witness these events? Very politely...
Ali Haj Suleiman - the war in Syria continues
I learned about Ali's photographs from international news outlets. The photographs of this young (born 1999) Syrian photographer became the subject of an international scandal by a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman named Zhao Lijian.

In the second half of the 1980s, he approached the circle of...

"Photos for passport" and "Lilies" by Alexander Chekhnev
Alexander Chekemynev, a photojournalist "of flesh and blood," has made a breakthrough into the canon of Ukrainian "high" photography. At the same time, it is worth noting that, as the author of several large, impressive photographic projects, he did not fall victim to the "disease of the 20th century," as design thinking in photography is sometimes referred to. Passport photosOne art student noted that for some time now artists have not been creating, a...
