I first came across the work of 26 year old photographer Mustafah Abdulaziz a few years ago; it was his 2008 series, The Cowboys of Patagonia. I was instantly struck by these beautiful images with their rich tones and cinematic feel. Ever since then I’ve been following his work quite closely, from covering New York Fashion Week for the New York Times, to being the first contract photographer for the Wall Street Journal; impressive indeed. I caught up with Mustafah, just as he’s getting ready to fly back to the states for another road trip, to talk about his recent transition from New York City to Berlin, his celebrated series Memory Loss and how he feels being chosen as one of PDN’s 30 emerging photographers to watch.

Joe Rosenthal, the Associated Press photographer who captured the enduring image of the American fighting man in World War II with his depiction of five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising a huge American flag over the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, died Sunday in Novato, Calif. He was 94. (via Joe Rosenthal, Photographer at Iwo Jima, Dies - New York Times)
