David Wright at Anastasia Photo

Anastasia Photo, a gallery on the Lower East Side, specializes in documentary photography / photojournalism that has some connection to a philanthropic organization. For the past few months, the work on view by David Wright chronicles people affiliated with A River Blue, an NGO in northern Uganda that seeks to help those who lives have been affected by the hellish Lord's Resistance Army. The pictures on display generally show people dwarfed by their surroundings, an apt depiction of individuals struggling with such difficulties. But there are a few exceptions, including this young man and his sewing machine, an illustration of daily, industrious, wonderful life.
