They usually stay three to four days in each place, and may be away from their village and family from a day to a week at a time.”</p> <p>Photos by <a href="http://socialdocumentary.net/exhibit/Murtada_Bulbul/840">Murtada Bulbul</a></p>http://blog.joncherry.net/post/434394621http://blog.joncherry.net/post/434394621Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:46:10 +0000Murtada Bulbul<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyxtpyMdv11qzqci1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.yanngross.com/">Yann Gross</a></p>http://blog.joncherry.net/post/433453547http://blog.joncherry.net/post/433453547Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:37:10 +0000Yann Gross<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kys9mnlVf31qzqci1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.emilianogranado.com/new1/1.html">Emiliano Granado</a></p>http://blog.joncherry.net/post/427155286http://blog.joncherry.net/post/427155286Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:35:11 +0000Emiliano Granado<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyrtpcXpAh1qznz28o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.tapwaterplease.co.uk/post/426611194/the-do-lectures-have-made-this-rad-flip-book-to">jonheslop</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Do Lectures have made this RAD flip book to showcase what they’re about.</p> <p>It’s stuffed full of beautiful photos from the likes of <a href="http://www.jonathancherry.net/">Jonathan Cherry</a> & <a href="http://jamesbowden.net/">James Bowden</a>.</p> <p>They just shoved a <a href="http://issuu.com/dolectures/docs/do-flick-book?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true">digital version online</a>.
