The Fox and the Hound

Tinni is a Norwegian dog that belongs to photographer Torgeir Berge in the forests of Norway . While exploring the woods together they came across a wild fox that they named Sniffer. Although Sniffer has never been domesticated in any way, Sniffer and Tinni became good friends. Now Berge observes Tinni and Sniffer from a distance, and luckily for us he captures their endearing friendship with his camera.

Souvid Datta: Contemporary Kabul

Artist Statement:

Common contemporary perceptions of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, is based on three decades of war coverage. From the Soviet and Mujahideen battles, to Talibarn rule, US invasion and subsequent security struggles the stories and images most internationally pervasive are those coloured in conflict, bloodshed and tribulation. Today, the Kabul that exists is one of many faces. One where bombed out buildings stand aside fresh internet cafés. Where more children and girls are attending school that ever before. Where shops and streets are populated by musicians, artists, athletes and activists who are trying to live connected to 21st century lives in spite of the massive infrastructure problems and the ever-present military attacks. Against the backdrop of Afghanistan’s first and messy democratic transfer of power as well as the Taliban’s recent tide of violence, this series explores contemporary trends in youth culture, arts and daily life. It is an ongoing, unfinished project.

*personal note: I can not contain my love for the work of this photographer. I’ve taken great pains to sneak 2 photos in every tumblr slot because I could not possibly limit myself to only 10 photos. The care and time he has taken with the people and culture of Afghanistan is palpable, something even more notable due to his identity as a foreigner. MORE OF THIS quality of empathy and work is needed in the world, let alone the photo-journalism community.
