So ordinarily I would put something comical up here, but I thought differently today. Please take time to look at the picture above. When this photograph capturing the suffering of the Sudanese famine was published in the New York Times on March 26, 1993, the reader reaction was intense and not all positive. Some people said that Kevin Carter, the Australian photojournalist who took this photo, was inhumane, that he should have dropped his camera to run to the little girl’s aid. The controversy only grew when, a few months later, he won the Pulitzer Prize for the photo. By the end of July, 1994, he was dead. He took his own life.
The pictures I create are nice, but frivolous fun items that dont make a statement and dont say much in general.
Here is photography at its truest and most powerful.
