EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Long March" takes us to the barren hills of Afghanistan, where shepherds and their flocks embark on a compelling journey across vast distances. Captured by the talented photographer Alex Treadway, this color image showcases the resilience and determination of these indigenous people as they navigate through the rugged terrain. In this horizontal composition, we see a lone male shepherd leading his sheep and goats through the challenging landscape. The vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise desolate setting, highlighting both the beauty and harshness of nature in Afghanistan. As we gaze upon this scene, it becomes evident that hill farming is not merely a livelihood but a way of life for these communities. Their subsistence depends on successfully guiding their animals to grazing areas amidst extreme conditions. This remote location offers an elevated view into their daily struggles and triumphs. Treadway's photograph serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience in even the most unforgiving environments. It invites us to contemplate our own connection with nature and appreciate those who rely on it for survival. Through his lens, he captures not only a moment frozen in time but also sheds light on the rich cultural heritage that exists within Asia's diverse landscapes – particularly in Afghanistan.
