A new photo book about Georgia just came out. It was an order from the Georgian president and as I have understood he wanted to show the bright sides of Georgia. He brought some of the Magnum photographers over to document the spring of 2008 in Georgia in a different way.
For sure the photos are different, but not in the way Saakashvili anticipated. There are a certain degree of questioning in the pictures that he did not like. Some beautiful and simple photos of Tbilisi was added in the beginning and the end to dampen the emotions the rest of the photos might stir up. It is also very comic that the georgian text in the book got mixed up with complete jiberish at the printing house and the first batch was decided to be donated to libraries. But at the end of the day, it is a beautiful book with text and photos far beyond. it is as always the very vanguard of photography, an inspiration for the mind and eye!
Regional meeting, greens from Sweden and the Caucasus got together to talk about the future
I have started a photoproject about the Green party in Georgia, the Swedish Green party is engaged in helping them and supporting them. Now as my time is mostly focussed on the food photos and the teaching I have only met them a couple of times, I think there is potential for some really interesting work here, they have a big challange facing them or many rather.
