DWF - Lockdown Inc. (The Republican National Convention)
Republican National Convention
Celebrations after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
LOCKDOWN: The Republican National Convention transformed downtown Cleveland into a maze of steel and concrete barriers constructed to protect Quicken Loans Arena from assault or protest. Law enforcement on bikes, horseback and in rapid response squads occupied much of the city. Side streets appeared empty and many restaurants and bars were quiet. In places, downtown Cleveland felt void of life, the lockdown scaring all but the most faithful away.
Inside the convention the Jumbotron projected a vision of strength and unapologetic aggression. Speech after speech worked to reinforce the need for order and security. With domestic attacks in Dallas, Orlando and San Bernardino on many people?s minds, the message seemed universally accepted. The alliance between a billionaire businessman and Republicans was locked in, even if the party establishment was cold to the relationship. The celebration continued and the empty streets waited outside?

DWF - Syrien Refugees in Iowa
Syrian Refugees
Sedra Tameem walks her younger sister and brother, Hala and Mutaz, to their busstop in the family's Des Moines neighborhood.
Ghazweh Aljabooli and her husband, Abdul Fattah Tameem, are refugees from Syria who were placed in Des Moines, Iowa with their five children. The family's hometown of Homs has seen some of the most fierce fighting and destruction of the civil war in Syria. For two years the family fled fighting within Syria before making it to Jordan, where they began the long process of of getting refugee status in the United States. From Jordan, Aljabooli and Tameem and their children were flown to Iowa to start a new life in middle America. While the transition has not been easy Tameem says, "the only positive thing is my kids are safe, this is essential."
Iowa's Republican Governor, Terry Branstad, has apposed Syrian refugees being placed in his state. The federal government is in charge of refugee settlement though, and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a nonprofit that contracts with the U.S. Department of State, settled the Tameem family in Des Moines.

Bodybuilding
Contestants at the Danish Bodybuilding Championships in Roskilde, May 5, 2001. The world of bodybuilding is, for some, a surreal vaudeville sideshow. For its participants it is a passionate way of life.
Through the months and years of training there have been many sacrifices; no alcohol, no sweets, and no fatty foods. At the championships, image is the only thing that counts. Many of the bodybuilders have not eaten any salt for the past week. Salt attracts water, and it is vital that the muscles contain no water what-so-ever. A day before the judging the competitors eat rice cookies and take energy drinks laced with vodka. The cookies suck the last drops of water from our muscles, the alcohol makes the blood run faster and the veins look bigger.
To look good on stage they wear a tanning cream, in order for the shadows to be seen more clearly. This has to be done five times to achieve the correct colour. As each coat takes thirty minutes to apply, many of the competitors sleep with the fake sun tan.
In the final hours before the judging begins, the bodybuilders gather in the basement. The atmosphere is tense and the air is thick with sweat and the musty smell of cocoa oil used to add shine to naked flesh.

Ali Abdul Hussein, left, Mohammed Abdul Redha, center, and Ahmed Khalaf, right, Shiites loyal to Muqtada al Sadr, stand for a portrait in Baghdad, Iraq on March 2, 2006. They work in the local office of Muqtada Al Sadr who, after a Sunni mosque was attacked, helped to secure it. The invasion of Iraq broke a community into sectarian halves, at each other?s throats: Sunni and Shiite, who have lived together -- albeit not in perfect harmony -- for 1400 years became mortal enemies, killing each other?s women and children.

Lebanon Palestinians - ICRC
A child walks past a bullet-ridden wall in the Nahr al-Bared camp for Palestinian refugees near Tripoli, North Governorate, Lebanon on Dec. 2, 2008. Nahr al-Bared is where the Lebanese Army battled an armed group called Fatah al Islam for almost four months, between May and early September 2007. An estimated 400 people died in the fighting, including Lebanese Army soldiers, Fatah al Islam fighters and civilians. A great part of the camp was reduced to rubble, and the vast majority of its 40,000 inhabitants had to flee to the adjacent Beddawi Palestinian camp or to other locations in Lebanon. They sheltered for months in often precarious conditions. For the eldest among these Palestinian refugees, it was their second or even third displacement. The camp is slowly being rebuilt, but as of late 2008, thousands of inhabitants have still not been able to return.

SCY - Dying to Breathe
Dying to Breathe
China/Shaanxi/Henan/by Sim Chi Yin / VII/ personal project/2011-2013/
Mi Shixiu cradles He Quangui's head as he's struggling to breathe. . .He eventually recovers his breath. But in the wee hours of the next morning, he tried to kill himself to end the suffering.
---
Dying to breathe: former gold miner He Quangui is slowing dying of silicosis - a irreversible but preventable disease he contracted from years of working in small, unregulated gold mines in the Henan province, central China. Ten years after he was diagnosed with silicosis, he is fighting for his life, fighting to keep breathing. In this illness, a type of pneumoconiosis - China's most prevalent occupational disease afflicting millions - silica dust sucked into the lungs during years of blasting rock causes the miner's lungs to harden and eventually fail. Workers who can get good health care and remove themselves from the harmful environment -- particularly those who worked for state mines -- can live a normal person's lifespan. But most of the growing number of victims in China today are migrant workers like Mr He, with no insurance, good healthcare or legal recourse. They typically die in their 30s, leaving families with no sole breadwinners, wives with no husbands, children without fathers.

What Remains
It was in the afternoon.I was sitting on my grandpa?s couch. The door was slightly open and I saw light coming through, washed out between the white door and white walls. All of a sudden it all started making sense. I could relate what I was seeing with what I felt. John and Prova, my grandparents. While growing up, I found much love and care from them. They were young and strong. As time went by it shaped everything in it?s own way. Bodies took different forms and relations went distant. Grandma?s hair turned gray, the walls started peeling off and the objects were all that remained. Everything was contained into one single room. They always loved the fact that I take pictures of them, because then I spend more time with them and they don?t feel lonely anymore. After Prova passed away, I try to visit more so John can talk. He tells me stories of their early life, and how they met. There are so many stories. Here, life is silent, suspended. Everything is on a wait. A wait for something that I don?t completely understand?

SP - River and Lost Lands
Of River and Lost Lands
The relationship between man and river; It?s intimate and it?s ruthless. For generations people live by it. We find dependency and destruction at the same time. It?s a contradictory affair. The river gives so much to its people and at times it takes away everything. In the winter of 2011, I travelled to the villages near Ishurdi district. Padma, the largest waterway of Bangladesh flows right beside. At first the place seems abandoned. Drowned and broken houses, floating trees are all that remains. These are traces of life that was once here. Slowly I discover life in the villages. People who are still living here, many as refugee in others land. They have lost their house, farmlands almost everything. Some has left the places as they ran out of all the options. Over the years the river changed it?s course. While doing it, it has taken so many. When the monsoon arrives and the river runs fast. The lands get washed away and disappear. Riverbank erosion generally creates much more suffering than other natural hazards like flooding; as while flooding routinely destroys crops and damages property, erosion results in loss of farm and homestead land. Places I have photographed do not exist any more. But these people are sill living around the river. Often they go out and stand by the river and some rest by the riverbank. They look far away. Its not clear what do they look at. River erosion still continues with dire consequences for this land and community.
