From a New York Times Lens blog post: Magnum’s Archive of Once-Orphaned Photos"I took this picture in the Atacama Desert in Chile in 2007. It was my first trip back to Chile since I lived there for six months in 2002. Those months were deeply formative for me. I started to learn the freedom to be myself. I had my first experience with conflict during a massive rally that turned suddenly violent. Although this picture is a departure from most of my work, it was in that place that I discovered who I was supposed to be." — Peter van AgtmaelPeter van Agtmael—Magnum
