eight years before the start of syria's civil war, kevin bubriski was on assignment there. a decade later, the conflict has destroyed many of the sights he captured. kevin has a new collection of black—and—white photographs, and he spoke to us about his work. i think it's maybe through my photographs from 2003 that we can more deeply appreciate what siri is. not the ghosts of the past but what syria has the potential of becoming when the dust settles and is the syrian people can embrace their incredible, deep, cultural history and let the rest of the world know about it. i am kevin bubriski and i've just published a book legacy in stone: syria in stone which looks at the cultural monuments of syria. we spent about a week in aleppo and my story was to cover the souk, the people of the markets. and after a day of wandering the souk, i could not figure my way around it without someone's help. it is one of the largest labyrinths of someone's help. it is one of the largest la byrinths of commerce someone's help. it is one of the largest labyrinths of commerce one could imagine.
