The dead have remembered
our indifference The dead have remembered our silence The dead have remembered our words all the living are guilty little children who offered bouquets of flowers are guilty lovers are guilty guilty are poets guilty are those who ran away and those that stayed those who were saying yes those who said no and those who said nothing. ---Tadeusz Rozewicz texture by ~sundel a 15kg 17 year-old boy with his grandmother Doing my medical elective in Africa did something to me. Something special that cannot be replicated by any amounts of TV, or movies, or poems, or photographs. Something that everyone needs to see, but so many don't. Something that people see in the news, sigh, shake their heads, then return to their dinner. Spread the message. Open your eyes. *All profit from prints sold will be donated to UNICEF* African series: a storm is brewing [link] innocence [link] PonPon [link] Daily DeviationGiven 2007-08-29Normally I would have passed this suggestion off to one of the general photography gallery directors. I am the artistic nude gallery director and usually feature work accordingly. But when this came in and I opened the link, I decided to do it myself. The image did something to me. Not in the sort of way tragic images are displayed on the evening news. Like so many I have become desensitized to the moving image of television. The same cannot be said for photography. Images have a tendency to move me in ways other mediums cannot. Perhaps we all feel that way about our chosen form. Photography, the genre I love so much, can make me cry. And that is precisely what happened when I saw this. plight of africa by *CatchMe-22 (Suggested by ~maryana01 and Featured by `arachnid15) |

It is crazy how oblivious people can be to what is going on in the world! & even if they DO see it and are aware of it, they continue to do nothing!
I really want to go to Africa for one or two years before college, and this has only added to my determination to help!!
Wonderful work, thank you for sharing!!
this is a problem that needs to be highlighted more so people are aware of the problem.
thank you for sharing this.

I also recomend that you set up an email and paypal and sell prints that way, as DA takes nearly all of the profit from selling your prints. You could also aproach UNICEF to get a book made if you have more photos, and tell them to sell them. There are many ways to raise money, and I am proud that you are doing this to help these people in need.
Really beautifulily shot and a very moving image.

Love is the difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real.
