Python catcher in Africa .

  First  we wrap our arm in a skin for protection.

Then we crawl in the pit.

    We use modern lighting.

I let it take my protected arm.

Sort of like noodling for fish.

Then my buddy pulls me out with snake attached.

Ain't it a beaut?

  It'll feed the village for a while.

And you think your work is tough... don't you?

CRIANÇAS NO PAQUISTÃO

Children in Pakistan
According to Pakistani authorities and the UN, at least 3 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have now been registered as a result from recent fighting and on-going military operations against the Taliban in Pakistan's Swat, Buner, and Lower Dir districts. Refugee families are often made up of only women and children, the older men staying behind to care for their homes and crops. UN humanitarian chief John Holmes issued a desperate appeal for hundreds of millions of dollars to help those who have fled the war, warning that the U.N. can only sustain its current aid efforts for one month. Photographers in the area have captured many powerful images of those affected, some of the most striking focused on children, from which I've collected 38 here for you. (38 photos total)

CLAUDIA ROGGE

O trabalho fotográfico da alemã Claudia Rogge é verdadeiramente impressionante. Os cenários, as simetrias,o ínfinito, as massas, a regularidade e o caótico…tudo se conjuga com um sentido estético fascinante. via
