Ferghana Valley. Osh., Kirgizstan, 2002
From Satellites
-“Between 1998 and 2005 I traveled through the fringes of the former Soviet empire, exploring the stories of half-forgotten enclaves and restless territories. Many of these places are quaintly obscure, but as I came to discover, they offer stark proof that the breakup of the Soviet Union is still a work in progress.”
