These photographs explore the world of the South Caucasus, loosely following the proposed new railway line: from Kars, in Eastern Turkey into Georgia to Tbilisi and then on into Azerbaijan to Baku. There are also photographs from Armenia -- mostly near Yerevan -- as well as from the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh: a region still in ruins that remains mired in the memory of war.

Aside from some very obvious hip shots, its very nice 😉

When you compose and make it look like a lucky hip shot, you become Alex Webb. 🙂

Nice work.

Magnum needs to ease up with the sharpening and watermarking though.

Really detracts from the images.

Here is a link with the same pictures without the watermark. Alex Webb works start to grow on me, I don't usually like color pictures.

Thanks for the link ! there are some amazing images in that series.

Not that it matters, but I wonder if he's using a digital camera ?

My guess is that its M9 but someone else needs to confirm this.

Don't care for color? Check out Vanessa Winship's B&W work from the same general region:

I don't really understand the point of a post like this... This is not PS3 vs. Xbox 360 you know, that it should be compared.

Two different works and color or b&w has nothing to do with it.

Please use some common sense.

Who's comparing?
