this group of photos inspired what will most likely become the theme of my photos this semester (even though the semester is half gone)
i posted something in my other blog (caitlinisready.blogspot.com)about how i felt the reason so many live comfortably, unmoved by poverty and suffering...or even by the needs of their most immediate human contacts...is because the sufferers just aren't real. they're not human enough. people can't see that those they love the least are just like themselves. when they suffer, it's you suffering. it's your family suffering. its your best friend and your spouse suffering.
i want to capture things like this - the intricacies of the body: the lines by the eyes, the gap in the teeth, the vein in the forehead; or the wrinkles on the hands and the dirt on the toes and fingers; the realities of a living human. i want to make the sufferers real to you because they are you and a lot of them need help.
