...economic growth. In his address to the Asia Society, Bush made it a point to note that while many Americans fear outsourcing of their jobs to India, the Indians have developed a taste for American goods. "Younger Indians are acquiring a taste for pizzas from Domino?s and Pizza Hut. And Air India ordered 68 planes valued at more than $11 billion from Boeing, the single largest commercial airplane order in India?s civilian aviation history. Today India?s consumers associate American brands with quality and value...
...squats alone on the floor of her one-room hut, untwisting and retying a torn fishing net, it becomes clear that Rosa Nobert, 43, shares her days with the dead. The walls are hung with faded photographs: her husband, shot and burned in his fishing boat by the Sri Lankan navy; her two nephews, Tamil Tiger guerrillas killed in battle; and 17 relatives, including 13-year-old daughter May Linda, washed away by the tsunami. As Sri Lanka once more flirts with civil war, Rosa expects she will soon be adding one more picture to her gallery of ghosts...

O builds the lonely and distressing atmosphere through quiet panels of hanging laundry, a dog pulling desperately on its chain and an ant hauling a dead butterfly across the ground. Eventually our anxiety for the child breaks as her parents arrive - they had been spraying insecticide in the fields - and embrace...

As in Portraits, the dioramas look far more realistic in Sugimoto's presentation than in the museums themselves. Among these delightfully jarring, anachronistic images is a pseudodocumentary photo of Cro-Magnons building a hut. Sugimoto is well aware of the irony that he, like the creators of such dioramas, is practicing a vanishing art. It's not simply that digital photography is quickly becoming more popular than traditional film. It's that his tools?an 8 inch by 10 inch box camera, silver-emulsion...
