Noorderlicht Photofestival 2006: Another Asia

Extending the words: if you should find yourself in the Netherlands between September 10 through to October 29, 2006, please visit the Noorderlicht Photofestival 2006: Another Asia.



The theme for the festival is "Another Asia".

This festival is an interesting mix of 64 photographers from 21 countries, showcasing photographs of South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Another Asia forms a triptych:
Another Asia I --> through Asian Eyes
Another Asia II --> through Western Eyes
Another Asia III ---> looking to the past

If you happen to make it there, please make sure to have a look at the works of the very talented James Whitlow Delano. James will be showing "Death Throes of a Great Rainforest", an ongoing project begun in 1994 of the decimation of the great swath of everwet rainforest extending from the Malay peninsula, through Borneo and up to the top of the Philippine Archipelago. A few have benefitted handsomely while forest dwelling peoples have lost their forests and have been left impoverished.



James is a long time friend whom I met at a photo shoot for an article with Newsweek Japan many years ago. If you happen to make it to the festival and meet James, please tell him Tari says hello!
