Interesting comment Dave, thanks!
I have seen a lot of the crap side of human nature, I think I'm over all the perfection and beauty though. Home is pristine, fairly unspoilt, crisp and clear, I get obsessed with sharpness and things that I'm now finding completely uninteresting. Actually I see beauty everywhere here, just a different kind, the spirit of the people rebuilding their lives yet again, even the pictures I posted above I find extremely beautiful in their own way, it's just unlikely to be seen by others because they aren't witnessing it, not popular images!
I have been looking at older photographers recently, something I very rarely do, almost all of the work I find truly inspiring is not concerned with technique or equipment, it's entirely focused on content, the story. I look all around here at what's going on and I wonder what the f*ck I'm doing, what's the point, if I'm not able to tell their stories then what i produce has no meaning.
Anyway, sorry about that, just vocalising the frustrations of seeing stories everywhere and not knowing what to do about it!
Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.
