Thanks for haaretz news paper . several young talented Palestinian photographers have been publishing their images in the local and international press, mounting exhibitions and publishing books of their work. They also try to reach a wider audience by uploading their photographs to social media. One member of this new generation is Hamde Abu Rahma, a Palestinian photographer from Ramallah, who recently published his first book of photographs, entitled “Roots Run Deep: Life in Occupied Palestine.” Abu Rahma is not only a photojournalist, but also a social and political activist. He was born in the village of Bil’in, which has been in the news regularly because of the demonstrations held there against the construction of the nearby separation barrier. When his cousin Bassem was killed during a demonstration in 2009, after being hit by a tear gas cannister fired by a soldier, Abu Rahma decided to become a photojournalist to document Palestinians’ day-to-day struggle against the occupation. read more here . haaretz/mobile/.premium-1.608931?v=7BC5434FB141A4558569EF4B7B2A6F57
