Sorry, I am not in class but I have a lovely replacement today :)
I would like you to RESPOND to this post by adding a comment to this post and I will therefore see who has looked at it.
This week we have been looking at Activist/Documentary phoographer: Mimi Chakorava
Here is a link to her show titled: Distance between us
The distance between us
A conversation recorded in her journal:
"Can I take your picture?"
"For what?"
"To show others how you live.""Will they come here and make it better?"
"I don't know.... Probably not."
"Why you want to shoot a photo of an old man, anyway?"
"Because history is written on your face. Every scar is a decade."
"Go ahead, if it pleases you."
"What pleases you?"
"I don't remember."

ReplyDeleteseen it!
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda sad that the old man couldn't remember what pleased him. In our society, most people would have a hard time narrowing it down to one. The photo of the children is interesting because you don't see a whole face, and the old man looks likehe doesn't really know what he's living for.
ReplyDeleteNice Pictures!
