Generation AIDS Photo

Photographer’s Note

A visiting care worker from Brahmavihara performs Healing Touch on a grandmother with HIV/AIDS. The technique is very calming for the patient. Grand-daughter plays in the doorway.

Three AIDS affected generations live in the ward, with minimal care and food. But it's better than the street.

Taken at Chea Chum Neas AIDS ward, Takmao.

Hi Bennett,

Every generation is playing its own role in life. The child is playing, the mother is at work and the grand mother is laying on a bed. A resume of life, with great accuracy, and independently of any culture, all that contained in one frame.
This photo is really one that tells a big story in a simple and efficient way.
An amazing photo.
Pascal.
