I don&#8217;t know any other photographer with such an extensive &amp; qualitative photo-archive about Albania, capturing 3-4 decades of country&#8217;s history. With perhaps 1500 photographs, or even more (organized in 13 galleries, such as: &#8220;Albania in 1981&#8221;, &#8220;Albania &#8211; Exodus&#8221;, &#8220;Mother Theresa in Albania&#8221;, &#8220;Kosovo refugees in Albania&#8221; etc.), Setboun has captured like no other photographer the political, cultural and social development of the country.<br \/>\n<em>(s. guraziu &#8211; ars
