A friend of mine to whom I am very attached to me says I should write something today before the trip that will begin Friday, February 11, Somma Lombardo from a small town in the province of Varese, to Haiti. Something written
jet that comes just from the stomach, I'm trying to do just that ... although writing for me is much more difficult and unnatural than taking photographs.
The items already in difficult situations, are now even harder to find.
The only thoughts that crowd my mind is this: "I will rise to the occasion ? "But I do not mean to bring home ten or fifteen good pictures for Coop, the association with which I work, but our thoughts go to something rather more profound. Our thoughts go to these people victims of yesterday and kind of victim cholera today.
Being able to be as objective is not distorting the reality, in the photographer's job is never easy, I would say impossible.
I think that whenever we perform a step, that is where the problem arises!
In that image is everything ... we are there, the subject viewed the place, time and human responsibility. Many have called ethics, but I do not like this word and reeks of old, some of them abuse including the use, I call it responsibility. Responsibility that every human being should have against another human being. But this seems to be now thinking of other times, I like to think that an alternative, a rebel is not subject to modern stereotypes have now become role models to be well accepted in this world of shit that we are working aggressively with speed not and who knows what.
I hope to find the gaze of the eyes of my daughters in the eyes and the eyes of Haitian children, to find that innocence of their children, I hope very much, because it will mean that you can start again to live and leave behind this tragedy.
Unfortunately I am a realist and I know that this will be difficult to find it .... soon from Haiti!
