Some beautiful photography by an American photographer who lives in Turkey, Kathryn Cook. The photographs are an attempt to convey ideas and images of the Armenian deportations and killings that took place in Turkey during the early part of the 20th century. The photographs have a really interesting transient quality; nothing looks fixed or permanent, a quality that is very unphotographic in some ways, given that we are meant to see clarity within the thousand of a second on display. You can see more of her work as well as this series which is called 'Memories of Trees,Turkey and the Armenian genocide' at http://www.agencevu.com/stories/index.php?id=81&p=205
