photoethnography

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?'

really don't know where to put this, but:

obv journalism and not ethnography, but still. pretty amazing pics, imo

daaaamn are they using grenades

seems like boston.com is becoming the de facto photojournalism site on the web

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.
