Iraqi Kurdistan
During seven weeks in 2005 Ed Kashi photographed Kurdish people in northern Iraq going about their daily lives.
He has put thousands of images in a 12 minute presentation that blurs the boundary between photography and cinematography. I rate it a success on the whole, and an interesting experiment that points to new possibilities.
