“For most Americans, singing competition shows are a great way to entertain themselves on a Tuesday night. For the country of Azerbaijan, it’s a ticket for the nation to be represented on the world stage. National Geographic Young Explorer grantee Amanda Rivkin tells Boyd about how this country has sunk millions of dollars into the goal of getting one of its own to win the Eurovision singing competition.”
The New York Times Lens Blog: Turning Point (published August 4, 2010)
“Lens is presenting ‘Turning Point,’ an occasional series featuring images by young photographers. Each post will showcase one picture each considers to have been seminal in his or her development.
The column was conceived by Amanda Rivkin, 26, a photographer who has had work published by The New York Times, Newsweek, Le Monde and Agence France-Presse. Ms. Rivkin wanted to hear from her peers about their own work. But she was interested in more than self-meditation.
Underlying each image is a great deal of emotion. In many cases, the names of those who inspire will be familiar; in some, less so. Today, we begin with Ms. Rivkin’s own work — and that which inspired it.”
