Circle of Blue ran a great piece yesterday entitled "War on Water: A Clash Over Oil, Power, and Poverty in the Niger Delta," using several of Ed's images and quoting his experiences in the region. His pictures of the militant group MEND patrolling the waters are a moving insight to the dangers of this "all out war." Read more and check out the pictures and info-graphics on the link below:

Missourian Interview: US-African ties
Last week Ed, along with several other panel members, discussed President Obama's recent trip to Ghana and the relations between America and Africa. Ed weighed in on Nigeria and how the corruption, largely due to oil, is causing a issues with Nigeria's ties to other nations.
"Oil all over the world is very pernicious and creates bad results for the people there, nowhere worse than in the Niger Delta. It is hard to see how things will improve without some kind of massive change, not just democratic institutions, but at the level of a ministry or company functioning without being riddled with corruption."

Three Launch Success
Thank you to everyone who came out to support Ed and Julie last night at the Powerhouse arena. The launch of Three and premier of the multimedia piece was a huge success! As an intern from Ohio U, it was my first time to Powerhouse, and to Dumbo, and it was fantastic. It was also wonderful and surprising to run into many other aspiring photographers, former professors, and old friends that I hadn't seen in a long time. I hope everyone else enjoyed the presentation, got to speak with Ed, and had a blast. Hope to see you all soon, and again - thanks for making it out last night.
