Superb Congo Photos by Dominic Nahr

A friend sent me a link to a showcase of absolutely superb Congo photographs by a young snapper named Dominic Nahr. I'd seen a few of these shots before, but not most of them.

The slideshow is here: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/01/showcase-43/ and Nahr's own website (links to stories bottom right) is here: http://dominicnahr.com/.

He says, on the New York Times Lens blog linked above, "Congo is a place where you need long-term projects," he said. "I’d love to work on different narratives, to get at the subtlety beyond just refugees and the war. Many stories stereotype Africa, but there’s so much more there."
