Foreign Correspondents

The New York Times has just recently begun publishing photos that were previously anonymously done under Samuel Aranda's name. He was working in Yemen as a photo journalist and for his safety, all of his photos were being published anonymously. What I love the most about the story is the fact that in a place where he had to hide his camera from soldiers and state officials, the local Yemeni photographers assisted him in dressing in local garb and avoiding being arrested. As someone who would love to work as a foreign correspondent it's really great to read stories that show that not everyone hates America and that most people are kind and willing to help.
