Palani Mohan's “Vanishing Giants - Elephants of Asia” was on display from March through May 2008 at Fovea Exhibitions. The photographs document these great animals and the people who care for them. The images in this exhibition have been taken over six years, in 11 Asian nations – from the streets of Bangkok to the logging camps of the Andaman Islands. The book stands as a record of an amazing species which is ever more imperiled by the loss of habitat and by human neglect.

by Paolo Pellegrin • While on assignment in southern Lebanon in 2006 for The New York Times, Pellegrin captured the grief of the Lebanese population in the face of the Israeli air strikes. His images reveal the despair of families and friends witnessing the deaths of their loved ones while around them their homes are destroyed. While covering this story, Pellegrin was injured by shrapnel and suffered a concussion during a missile attack. In 2007 he was awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award from the Overseas Press Club for this work, which recognizes international reporting “requiring exceptional courage and enterprise.” These photographs also earned him a first place prize from the World Press Photo competition, based in Amsterdam

by Ziyah Gafic • Ziyah Gafic was a young boy growing up in Sarajevo when the Bosnian War started, and as a teenager turned to photography as a means to explore his identity as a European Muslim in a world of conflict.

by Ron Haviv • Since 2003 the continuing conflict in Darfur has torn apart the lives of over 2.5 million people. Haviv gives viewers a haunting look at life among the civilian children of this desert region, who have endured years of hardship and brutal civil conflict. Young girls and women risk their safety daily while performing acts of survival such as gathering water and firewood. The photograph of the teenager in the red scarf who is shown with two of her friends was terrified every day, reports Haviv. Yet she felt it was her responsibility to leave the camps in search of food for her family, despite having been attacked and raped in previous excursions.

Lori Grinker and Fovea's premiere exhibition, May-June 2007 Lori Grinker began her photographic career in 1981 while a student at Parsons School of Design when her photo-essay about a young boxer was published as a cover story by Inside Sports. During that time she met another young boxer, thirteen-year-old Mike Tyson, whose life she documented for the following decade. Since then in addition to her reportage of events such as the destruction of the World Trade Center, she has delved into long-term book projects including The Invisible Thread: A Portrait of Jewish American Women (Jewish Publication Society, 1989, 7 editions), and Afterwar: Veterans from a World in Conflict (de.MO, March 2005), her fifteen-year project on veterans of the last century.
