April 16, 2007 - Troubled Times, the latest guest gallery to be added at Pissedpoet Pics is a series of photographs from Lebanon by American expatriate Marc Nader. A teacher at the American University in Beirut, he has lived through this country’s turbulent recent history.
The photographs in Troubled Times depict Nader’s relationship with his adopted home. He has captured the beauty of the country that keeps drawing him back despite the danger to life and limb.
With a true artist’s eye, Nader’s photographs make powerful statements devoid of any sentimentality. His images tell of his ongoing affair with the Lebanon and how a place and its people can capture a human heart.
“The photographs in Troubled Times speak from the heart,” said Henry Bateman, the publisher of www.pissedpoetpics.com. “Being an expat myself I can readily relate to Marc’s sentiments which cross national borders,” he added.
Marc Nader’s Troubled Times can be seen in the guest gallery section of www.pissedpoetpics.com.
