Photographing women is a difficult task for a male photographer traveling in more conservative count

Photographing women is a difficult task for a male photographer traveling in more conservative countries. I can either try and sneakily take a candid or ask directly. Not wanting to disrespect anyone, I usually choose the latter option. I am often refused however, the reason being that they are Muslim or have overprotective husbands. Despite this, I continue to ask, the worst thing they can say is no.

In Rawanduz I again approached a group of women sitting in the shade. The elderly women quickly said no, saying that they were Muslim. I nearby woman called me over and allowed me to photograph her. She then led me to her family graveyard, plucked a flower and laid against the gravestone. I can only assume that the grave is that of her husband, this possibly a reason as to why she agreed to be photographed. Her tenderness and hospitality humbled me. I thanked her repeatedly for her openness. Before I left she handed me the flower and said goodbye. Seeing her was definitely a touching and moving experience, which shows a country still in the process of healing.

A short hour and a half ride north of Erbil takes you to the canyons of Rawanduz. Gorgeous mountains and waterfalls adorn the landscape, offering an escape from the surrounding plains and hills.

The Kurdish revolution does not only face attacks from the fascist state of Turkey. Now Iraq is also attacking the mountainous region of Shingal. The population has promised to resist, and for this all international help and solidarity is essential! Action is needed now!


Antimidia and subMedia relay this message from comrades in Rojava.

Nerdy thesis post:

I emailed back and forth with Noam Chomsky last night about Rojava and just got off the phone with Dr. Peter Bartu, Professor of Middle East Studies and International Relations at UCBerkeley and my head is spinning.

Favorite quote from Peter and I’s 30-min conversation: “The PKK are fucking brilliant fighters.”

That’s all
