E os dias vão passando devagar
Sem ter pra onde ir
Sem ter pra onde chegar
Sem conseguir ir a qualquer lugar
Que me faça esquecer você
E essa rotina horrível
De tentar arranjar
Maneiras de te ter
Talvez seja amanhã
Talvez seja um dia
Mas ainda vou esquecer
O jeito como você sorria
E o jeito como me fazia sentir
Como se em seu lugar
Ninguém mais pudesse existir

Leptis Manga, Libya | July 18, 2012
Self identified Islamist and competitive handballer Fatah Rajeb, who lived and studied in Italy for five years before returning to Libya, works out in the Roman ruins of Leptis Manga. Libyans hope that with the birth of a new democratic nation and with the right balance of their conservative Islamic values, the tourism industry in Libya will again flourish.
For the next week, conflict photographer Ben Lowy, on a grant from the Magnum Foundation’s Emergency Fund, will be shooting from Libya on the first-ever photojournalism inspired Hipstamatic lens — and posting exclusively to Tumblr. Check out Lowy’s Tumblr and Storyboard for more. Also see Storyboard’s interview with the photographer.
