Photographing Realities
Location
What if I travled the world?
No, I want more.
What if I showed my world the real world around them?
What if it were just me
A camera and some luggage
In a warzone maybe
Or with Indian women, washing sheets in the Ganges?
And what if I got it all on film?
No, I can do better.
What if I shared it all,
Every smile I could shoot
Every tear I saw shed
Every tragedy I witnessed first hand
From the starving boy in Guatemala
To the coke lords in Colombia?
The small girl laughing in Tokyo
To the two grown men in New York City, who put on dresses for fun.
What I want is to show the world
From all walks, all views, all the ever varying perspectives
What their fellow humans are up to.
And what if, by sharing these people's hardships,
Their delights,
Their realities,
We all began to accept each other, just a little bit more?
