The Europeans Featured on the New York Times Lens Blog

London

This week images from The Europeans were featured on the New York Times Lens Blog. Needless to say I’m pretty excited that my work is reaching a larger audience. I’ve been working on this project for the past seven years and there have been many times where I felt I was toiling in obscurity to say the least. Getting a little recognition every now and then feels good.

Damaso Reyes Joins the World Policy Institute 
Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 12:24 - Project News
In other news I've joined the World Policy Institute as a Project Leader!



Some might think it odd that a photojournalist like myself has joined a think tank but I've always been interested in photography as a vehicle to drive discussion, not simply transmit information. If you missed it here's a link to an article I wrote and photographed for World Policy Journal about the asylum system in Austria

Damaso Chosen a a 2012 Knight Luce Religion Reporting Fellow! 
Monday, March 5, 2012, 10:20 - Project News
There is some good news today! I've been selected as a Knight Luce religion reporting fellow. From the release:

Damaso Reyes will investigate the growth of European Pentecostalism led by immigrants from former European colonies. Reporting from Spain, England and Ukraine, Reyes will examine how Charismatic faiths are growing while traditional European Christian religious observance continues to decline. Reyes is a photographer and writer whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, and The Christian Science Monitor.


I am looking forward to expanding the story I've been working on and seeing where it takes me!
