Aid

This is terribly sad and hard to look at. But the colors are nice, and the composition very good.

I love this, though many might not really understand what this means. You've managed to capture a lot of the essence of Aid.

Yes I know that about uderstanding but that's the life.Thanks Marius.

What happened? Sure, I get what you mean that its life, but I don't get why you would show this picture if you feel that way. Show some sensitivity, at least explain the details and tell us what your message is rather than just saying its life. I get the feeling your showing this because its shocking.

nothing shoking here, that's just the life:)

I'm agree with Simon, there is nothing horrifying neli? It's a cool image witch is shoot in the right time that's all.

I think SIMON used fill flash? Which make the image so cool.

 

Hi Simon: Having been born in Saudi Arabia and having grown up in Beirut and Cairo, I can relate to this photo. When I lived with my grandmother in Giza, she lived above the local butcher. Sadly, this was a common site, though I have to say I don't the see nor hear the hundreds of flies that seemed to gather after an animal was butchered. Add to that the overwhelming heat and one would swear to become vegeterian. I've lived in the United States now since 1963 and I keep wondering if the way we "farm" animals is any less humane. The bottom line? This is an evocative and powerful image and will mean different things to different people. I Admire you work a great deal and I thank you for the memories albeit sad ones. Good photography stirs the emotions and awakens the soul. Keep shooting.

Thank's Paul! ;)

 

I see love and sacrifice,

as true redemption.

I see love and sadness,

as peace and frustration.

I see father and son,

as Abraham and Isaac,

I see the lamb of God.

I, also, see contradiction,

but I feel freedom celebration.

 

I see real life.
