I’ve seen this photo posted and reposted on many blogs and websites, but never with attribution – though always with a “from the Liberian civil war” kind of caption. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at bodies of photographic work created in Liberia by a handful of amazing and intrepid individuals, and I’ve never seen this one among those collections. If anyone knows about this perhaps apocryphal image, please leave me a comment or send me an email.
UPDATE: Thanks to Deanna Dent who suggested I try TinEye, a reverse image search. I’d known about TinEye but hadn’t thought to try it in this case. I found a few very interesting places where the image had been re-posted, and, then an MSNBC story that used the photo with a byline. The photographer is now known: Nic Bothma. And his work is great — here’s another Nic Bothma image, respectfully reposted:
