Continuing my series of The 2010 Deck of photos, this, the twenty-first week of the year, this week’s photograph is “Another day…”
It is telling, that in a week of taking very few photographs (outside of a session at a dance) that the one I considered the best was one that reflects on a growing part of our society. So many homeless and destitute, and so many in need of help. Many times, it’s scenes like this that draw our attention, even though most of us turn a blind eye to it and pretend that it doesn’t exist.
so, until another day…
Welcome to the blogging world Mike. I think you have taken a step in the right direction. Regarding the photo, I will comment on your photos on your website, but now I can comment more on the subject.
I believe that we all have some kind of responsibility towards those people who fall through the cracks. Some of us, contribute to charity, some take a more active role.
I think part of our (yours and mine) responsibility is to draw attention to it through our photographs. They may not be pretty photographs, but they are the truth.
