		<description><![CDATA[Photographer Josef Jacques about Merced California: "A city of many booms and busts. Originally a rail town, connecting the gold mines of the Sierras to the Santa Fe and Pacific railroads. It was an agricultural town that is in one of the most fertile valleys in the world. It was a roadside town on Highway 99 and was known as the “Gateway to Yosemite”. It was speculative home town, where homes were built in hopes of wealth. The stories of Merced are indicative of many Californian and American folklore, dreams, and disappointments."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Photographer Ahmad Hosni: "Tourism can be traced back to Sinai’s biblical history and its fame as mythical place. Time after time the ‘wilderness of Sinai’ has been composed by the peregrinating subject: traveling monks, colonial explorers, development operators, photographers, anthropologists, tourists and, for that matter, Moses. South Sinai is palimpsest; a continuous process of sedimentation of textuality and practice excavated though a vision of the landscape."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Photographer Benjamin Goss on his work "Värmland": The images in this series are from an ongoing project documenting my environment in the countryside of Värmland Sweden. I grew up just outside of  New York City in NJ, so I found the contrasts of the U.S. and Sweden to be fascinating. It's like walking into a grocery store after, say being in India for a year. You recognize all the items and their uses but there is something still a little strange and ironic about the whole thing. Of course this feeling is fleeting, and now having been living here In Värmland for the past eight years, I have become a Swede. The only thing pretentious about these images is that they are all shot on film and printed and developed by myself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On May 19 2010, while covering the Red Shirts protests, Canadian photographer Chandler Vandergrift was hit by an M79 grenade and almost lost his life. He received 24 shrapnel wounds across my back and legs, a puncher colon and lung, broken ribs, and the explosion cause major hearing loss in my left ear. Three pieces of shrapnel shattered his skull and entered his brain. While he lay unconscious and heavily bleeding, it is presumed that Thai military personal stole my camera and my final photos from the protests were lost. Chandler is now recovering from his injures, including learning to walk again, and tries to save money for a new camera. ]]></description>

Officials say Prison Civile de Port-au-Prince had been burned down by the prisoners after the earthquake in an attempt to destroy prison records. With the capital in such a vulnerable state, there was some concern that escapees may return to areas like Cite Soleil and try and form gangs.

So here is an excerpt of his bio: The Berliner JUST documents the highlights of Urban Art and portrays artists who have become icons within the Urban Art scene. For more than half a decade the artist has been working on the streets himself, he knows his playground and the protagonists of that scene are his friends. This intimacy is the essence of his photographs. His photographs are lively; they symbolize the liberty on those rooftops and the aesthetics of those major cities. They smell of wet paint and sweat of a long night and they show the colour stains under fingernails and the coloured brushes in their vibrant beauty.]]></description>
