Stepping into the void left by mainstream media reducing their foreign coverage, the VII Photo agency has teamed up with Medecins sans Frontiers to produce a multi-part multi-media series on world hunger. Showcases the work of Antonin Kratochvil, who’s always amazing, and Ron Haviv, among others. Here’s the link to the website; one of the essays is below.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In 1983, after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, I went to Brussels as a copy editor for The Wall Street Journal/Europe. I left the Journal in 1985 to write for The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune, covering NATO and the European Union. In 1987 I moved to Seoul, South Korea, where I wrote primarily for The Washington Post. After three years in Asia I moved to Budapest to cover Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I spent most of 1992 and 1993 covering the war in Bosnia for the Post.
