Peter Hugo's photographic work focuses on global social issues, emphasizing Africa and other countries in development. His photography is a type of visual essay and is able to tell what's happening without needing words or documentation. I like his work because it is so interesting and foreign--at least to me. First the man walking with the hyena, as if it is his pet. It's such an odd situation, one that I know I'll never see in my lifetime. And then the other two portraits he took just captured the essence of these people. The final one of the man you can just read that his life has been a long one, probably a life that you could write a novel about.
