My former neighbor, Miguel Angel Sanchez, is featured by the NYT's photography blog. I've been talking to Miguel about his project for years, and stupidly have not yet taken up his offer of a portrait. Check out the slideshow here.

Check out the latest issue of Shahadat, an online magazine produced by ArteEast: It's dedicated to the Egyptian revolution. Very nicely edited, annotated, translated etc. and featuring the work of our dear friends Hossam el-Hamalawy, Sarah Carr, Jano Charbel and more. 

Even if you don't read Arabic, you might have guessed that the writing on the donkey says "Mubarak."
