INSIDE, a new magazine, (well sort of: 432 pages, hardcover) came out of the presses. Initiated by Martin Bandzak, it contains my 58-page photo essay on land issues in Cambodia I was talking about previously, AND two more essays, one by the same Martin Bandzak on Haiti and one on healthcare in the Congo. Believe me, it’s worth getting a copy. Meanwhile you can calm your nerves by visiting the website and the Facebook page (I’ll get you the link later)…
