"In a fast paced world with media focused on single, dramatic images there is the danger that extended documentary work like that of Babak Salari’s may be missed in the rush for the next great cover shot. Salari’s photographs, by contrast, require us to slow down and savour the moments he has rendered on film. Like any story, the best way to experience “Remembering the People of Afghanistan” is to be conscious of the telling and willing to let ourselves be affected by it. Salari’s photos form a rich, complex story told in a soft voice. It is the story of a people recounted with empathy and respect. At times, it is ... |

Теологичните вярвания на Маргарет Старбърд са дълбоко разклатени, когато прочита "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" ("Света кръв, свети Граал") - книга, която дръзва да издигне идеята, че Исус Христос е бил женен за Мария Магдалина и че техните наследници продължават неговата свята кръвна линия в Западна Европа.
