FROM BURN MAGAZINE:

“The pageants of Colombia are a petri dish for examining the nature of beauty and how we cope with adversity.  Set against a backdrop of poverty, crime, and the hemisphere’s longest running civil war, nowhere are the contests more ubiquitous and revered than in Colombia.  In these carefully scripted shows of fantasy, beauty as a concept, commodity and singular goal is stripped to its raw elements.  There is no ambiguity or pretense that anything else matters.”

Justin Partyka, a British photographer and writer based in the county of Norfolk, has a wonderful essay called The East Anglians on BURN Magazine.

Situated on the east coast of Great Britain, East Anglia is one of the country’s most rural and agricultural regions.  The flat landscape, massive skies and long farming heritage make East Anglia the closest place that Britain has to a prairie region.

Julia Komissaroff – Kitab al-Balad

“I call it “Kitab al-Balad” – the Book of the City. 11 years I’ve been
 circling in the narrow streets of Jerusalem’s Old City. This is a 
transformation of the City and me, the story how we became the one. 
Some time ago conflict and politics where important to me, now I just
 enjoy good tea with menta leaves, looking at old men and children. Doing what I do the best – my photography.”
