I usually find a new photographer that I just can’t get enough or about every week or so. The flavor of this week is Ben Lowy. He is a photojournalist and has recently been featured with the infamous group of photographers, VII. He has stunning images from Africa, Afghanistan, India, Haiti, and Iraq. I especially love that he has a whole series of pictures called “storylines” that he uses only his holga camera. Those cameras work miracles.. I think some of my favorite pictures I have ever taken have been from my holga. Here are some of his images:
Anyway, I especially love his Iraq photos, and think about my Dad who is currently out there serving in the Air Force. This is his second time in Iraq since the war began. I’ve never been an advocate of the War, but I do support our troops and I’m proud of my Dad. He really is doing some good out there and I admire his attitude about it all. He has been keeping a blog of his happenings in Iraq which you can see here.
Sorry for the scatter-brained-ness. Kudos for beautiful photography and for our troops! Keep them in your prayers.
