Meeting May (Story)

Mr. Hill you are damn good. You're a damned good photographer and damned good human being.

This is an extremely moving story board. The verbal commentary helps to flesh out the details but the whole story is told in the this series.

Many thanks for your comments and wishes last year, I finally managed to get back to you and just discovered your new series.

I've decided to react to this particular one because it illustrates a fact that's getting common in our societies : western states are more and more relying on private initiatives to address desperate situations like this (as well as others you've witnessed and actively reacted to).

Such an insidious disengagement is unbearable. What will happen when we'll all need some help and support, hence unable to provide it to others ?

There's hope in this serie, as you and your friend took an active stance. But still there's the underlying situation of this woman who was allowed to be left on her own in the street despite her critical state.

Keep it up as long as you can, Hugh. And take care of yourself too.

Best, Fred.

I wonder if you ever followed up May's story?

Nice middle class people have nice homes to hide in, nice friends and family to see to them and nice doctors to give the right medication.

I've known a number of Mays, most more sinned against than sinning.
