Inspired by a genocidal atrocity systematically committed over many decades and which shames my country, this video poses the question, How could it be that people thought it a good idea to take children away from their families because - and only because - of their ethnicity? Not to mention that the stolen ones belonged to the first peoples of this land. It also makes the point, I think clearly, that it is impossible for anyone, unless they have had their children stolen to know what it is like; nor can anyone who hasn't experienced it possibly know what the stolen ones have experienced.For me it also poses this question: How would I feel? I dedicate this video to the children and their parents and as a kind of prayer: may such atrocities never be visited upon anyone ever again.Peace to you all
Thoughts and reflections on social documentary and street photography (my own work and that of others). In my work I seek to share and record the so-called ordinary moments in the lives of people I encounter mainly on the street and in urban environments. My approach is essentially humanist and I strive to document the human condition with love, respect, empathy and compassion. Also you can expect the occasional post on me and my life. Reflections on the life of the artist you might say!
