Hi everybody,
Check out my story on today's New York Times Lens. It was shot by me, my husband and son, and nurses.

About This Blog

Alexandra Avakian
As a young photojournalist Alexandra Avakian was fascinated with revolution and the fight for freedom—even dreaming, many times, that she worked in a strife-torn city. She has braved bullets and hostility to photograph stories of searing conflict and bring them to the world.
