Our cover photographer, Italian-born Michele Sibiloni, is based in Uganda's capital city, Kampala. He's shot stories in the region for the New York Times, the British Journal of Photography, the Washington Post, and others. When not on assignment, he spends his time documenting the nightlife, photos he turned into a book titled fuck it, put out by Swiss publisher Edition Patrick Frey. The project was shortlisted for the Unseen Dummy Award and depicts the type of characters Sibiloni seeks out while photographing. We're glad to preview his new work, on very different night-dwellers—the grasshopper trappers of Uganda.
