Karasukurai 166 Posted June 30, 2023 A short 'photo essay' from The Guardian (UK) (30/06/23). Some nice pictures. The female sumo wrestlers fighting for recognition – a photo essay | Sumo wrestling | The Guardian 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorikiried by fate 2,029 Posted July 4, 2023 The essay part disqualifies itself with its very first sentence. As the guardian is wont to do with potentially controversial content, the commentary function is deactivated. Better not talk about stuff, when there is exactly one message to promote, eh?

I really don't think it was intended as some hard hitting, controversial exposé, just a recounting of a photo project that won an award with interesting subject matter. It was written by the photographer herself, Yulia Skogoreva, who studies and lives in Japan, so not a staffer, guessing that's why comments were off. Originally a very similar article was published by the Tokyo Weekender in February, clearly this fitted into the Guardian's existing 'Photo Essay' / Picture-Led Storytelling section - it was all Glastonbury last week. Just another circulated article that I thought might be of interest to the odd person here. Hey ho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wakawakawaka 160 Posted July 5, 2023 I learned a lot from this article, such that in the UK, many people have mounted not 1, not 2, not even 5, but 4! Former Phoenician cities to their cars! (I never get Tyre'd of puns :P) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
