As a photography enthusiast, I found Wide Aperture's latest blog post to be a phenomenal one (Wide Aperture is a photography subset of the online news magazine Current Intelligence). The article doesn't directly pertain to Africa but it does speak to the power of the captured image to offer commentary and insight into a country and its issues. Photographs can offer texture and context to circumstances that are difficult to address with the written word. In the article the editors address this idea of photographic texture and context in Hannes Opelz's latest work, "The Dream of Occupation", a photo essay about the West Bank.
What are your favorites blogs and websites and photography in Africa?
