A Photographer’s Return to Kobani

“Kurdish people love to sing, but lately the songs sound happier,” photographer #Frederic_Lafargue said.

After Kurdish forces freed the Syrian border town of Kobani from Islamic State in late January, displaced residents have begun their return to the city, which was destroyed during a four-month-long battle to regain control.

Mr. Lafargue, on assignment for The Wall Street Journal, also returned to Kobani after covering the fighting in November.

A Photographer Goes Behind the “Roma Walls”

In 2012, I was on an assignment for the Open Society Foundations in Moldava nad Bodvou, Slovakia, where I was working in a marginalized and segregated Roma community. I thought it might be important for me to document those places over a longer period of time, and I started to do some research on the area around #Košice and Roma-related issues.
