these are fantastic. love the way some of the people engage with the camera - part of the scrapbook aesthetic, i guess? like the kids in jars or this one:

yeah, she definitely engages with her subjects in a lot of them, an enviable skill. my favorite ones are the ones which show the ~joy & happiness~ of the people - like this one

Those old Russian photos are indeed great. There's a website here that has some additional photos and occasionally seems to have done a better job of stitching together the different exposures, although they aren't quite as sharp.

Just saw this. Lovely pictures - but ffs 'slandering the nation'. Prosecuting people who get up to harmless, fun & cool stuff is just the thing to make the place look great, is that the idea? The bbc could grow a set of balls too - the issue isn't really 'Negative images of Uzbekistan?', more 'Is this demented or what?'

Extraordinary pictures. I hope those guys are using very long lenses because I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that stuff.
I think this is my, er, "favourite".

Actually, some of them are clearly close and wide.
