The thing that stood out to me the most in the first 7 chapters is when she was first getting her visa and she was speaking to Mohammed. He started to ask her if what he heard about America was true, that men and women go out in public together before marriage, touch before marriage, live together before marriage. His response was "America is a good place". This surprised me because it shows how western journalism can sometimes overshadow the truth. A lot of people assumed most people in Afghanistan hated the west, but that is not the case. I was also very interested in the pop up schools for girls. The Taliban outlawed education for women, but some Afghans were so desperate to educate their daughters that they set up private classrooms in basements. It seems like Addario has made numerous sacrifices with relationships to pursue her career. My favorite photo is where children are swimming in the lake around Saddam Hussein's palace. It shows just how happy they were aft...

It's what I do

When thinking about what part of this book that stood the most, it is hard to choose. From normal experiences to harrowing tales many parts of her story stand out to me. However one does stand above the rest, Chapter 11 was one of the most harrowing things I have ever read. For the first time, I actually had anxiety when reading about what this group of journalists went through.

They were beaten multiple times on their way to Tripoli until finally they arrived and the Foreign Ministry then took them. It was a tossup between the Interior Ministry, who is infamous for torture or the Foreign ministry for who gets them. The Foreign minis...

Photogrpher of the Week

When thinking about who to present on I didn't want to choose someone who everyone else knew about or were already considered a legend in the industry. So I chose a lesser known sports photographer, Joseph Sherman. Sherman is an NBA photographer and does work for SLAM magazine. He is just now releasing his first ever photo book "A Basketball Book About Black People" He was born in Chicago Heights, Illinois and now lives in Brooklyn, New York. He was always fascinated with the idea of stopping time. So when he got his first camera he wanted to do his best to take photography seriously as an art form. The hardest part to him is staying creative. His favorite shoot so far has been photographing Bol Bol for SLAM. He knew he could be successful in the industry when his peers and others started to love and respect his craft. This is my favorite photo by him, It is titled "Influential" and just shows how much impact a single person can have on a generation. And as ...
