Anonymous and impossible to trace, the clip went viral with a story attached: The woman is Neda, an opposition protester in Iran, who was gunned down by a government sniper Saturday on the streets of Tehran. We don’t know how much of this is true. There is no way to verify even basic information about the video. But the clip proved too strong to be bogged down by fact-checking. The witnesses heard in the clip express shock, then desperation, then utter helplessness, passing through an emotional arc in 40 seconds. A viewer can’t help but imagine being there, powerless to do anything other than keep the camera on.”

In the pantheon of world-class driver/fixers there was hardly anyone better than Raza Khan from Peshawar who drove a battered Toyota taxi with a cracked windshield, had quick darting eyes that (I thought) never missed a trick, and a roguish charm. Raza died last week in a car crash, ferrying two photographers on the insanely scary road from Peshawar back to Islamabad. They survived the accident; Raza didn’t.”

Features and Essays – Guido Gazzilli: The Aquila Earthquake (Foto8 Story of the Week: 23 Apr 2009) “In the night between the 5th and the 6th of April, the centre of Italy was shaken by a powerful earthquake. It came in the middle of the night, causing destruction and killing 294 people. It was so powerful that most of the small villages around Aquila were fully destroyed. Many questions remain unanswered. Would it have been possible to reduce the damage? Was everything done in order to prevent the disaster? Did they build structures, like the university hostel (where many students died), according to the law? But what matters now for the survivors is to bring their cities back to life as soon as possible, working hard and standing proud. Walking around the streets between ruins, sacred images, corpses and personal effects, gave me an glimpse into understanding of what is happening to the people of Aquila.”

Features and Essays – Tomas van Houtryve: The Land of No Smiles (Foreign Policy: May/June 2009 issue) “Renowned documentary photographer Tomas van Houtryve entered North Korea by posing as a businessman looking to open a chocolate factory. Despite 24-hour surveillance by North Korean minders, he took arresting photographs of Pyongyang and its people—images rarely captured and even more rarely distributed in the West. They show stark glimmers of everyday life in the world’s last gulag”

Check this out… I had never heard of the agengy before. There’s loads of good stuff..

Our ambition is to provide stories on interesting issues in all areas – life, society, culture and conflicts. We work for magazines and newspapers and distribute our projects through partners all over the world. Our contracted agencies are Laif in Germany, Contrasto in Italy, Face to Face in France, Invision Images in Greece, Astufoto in Spain, Camerapress in the UK and Redux Pictures in the United States. “
I had a quick look at some of the Kontinent stories. I especially liked this one:

A Must. Features and Essays (2008) - Moa Karlberg: Til Death Does Us Apart (Kontinent 2008) “During spring 2008, Arvid Anderssons wife Ingar got so sick she had to move to an elderly home. Arvid wanted to rent the room next to her, but the municipality said no. Arvid did not have “the required need of care”. Now he lives alone in a one-room apartment in the village. In Sweden, it is up to each municipality to organize the elderly care. Some parts of the country guarantee couples accomodation at the same home. Others, like in Gislaved where the Anderssons live, have decided that it is better for a healthy person to stay in their own home as long as possible. This case created a debate and a popular fury during the spring. It got so far that local government commissioners were threatened to death, and had guards protecting the town hall. Arvid appealed but lost in higher court. Now it is fall and he does not have the energy for taking the case further. Life is different now. It did not turn out the way we expected, says Arvid.”
