Premiere of I Know Where I'm Going at ICRC HQ

Over the spring and summer, I was fortunate to work with filmmakers Leandro Badalotti, Tara Todras-Whitehill and Eric Maierson on I Know Where I'm Going, a film Intercross/ICRC co-produced with MediaStorm, a Brooklyn-based production studio.

I Know Where I'm Going tells the story of Hussein Saleh, a staff member based in Aden, south Yemen, where thousands of civilians have been displaced in the last year and casualties are reported almost daily.

Stuff I read - Afghanistan now, photographs by Yuri Kozyrev

Featured on TimeLightBox, a reportage by Time's Yori Kozyrev on today's Kabul, with two photographs of patients at our orthopedic center in the Afghan capital.

Mikko Takkunen, over at PHOTOJOURNALISMLINKS, points to the similarities between shot 14 of the Kozyrev's slideshow and a frame taken by James Nachtwey at the same facility in 2009.

Indeed, sad to see how little has changed for the victims of the Afghan conflict in three years.
