The Guardian is one of the rare newpapers that still regularly features documentary photography. Nice story this week on the decay of the Caspian Sea.
From the article: "As he travels along the Caspian Sea, Iranian artist Khashayar Javanmardi documents the human connection with the environment. His approach to photography blends the melancholy of climate anxiety with classical documentary, along the shores of the world’s largest enclosed body of water."
