UNITED STATES

Taken during a journey across Africa to the fastest growing cities

on the continent this photograph was taken just before landing

at Addis Ababa Airport in Ethiopia. Ironically that morning just

as the sun was rising this was one of the first views researching

the visual truth about the growth of human population and its

basic needs and ecological challenges that are being faced.

Up from the morning dew rose a ring of fog around this new

satellite city still under construction juxtaposed against the range

of mountains in the background and the older settlements in the

foreground. Encroachment of metropolis landscapes on nature

shot from the air are evident as documented in this archive.

BANGLADESH

Bangladesh is a densely populated country

of which Dhaka is the capital. In the country,

the train is a very relevant means of transport,

where most of the time the journey begins with

more people than it should. And that involves

risk. However, this situation is repeated every

day with the people of the city of Dhaka.
