Photographer's Note
My humble contribution to
live 8
Every single day, 30,000 children die, needlessly, of extreme poverty.
On July 6th, we finally have the opportunity to stop that shameful statistic.
8 world leaders, gathered in Scotland for the G8 summit, will be presented with a workable plan to double aid, drop the debt and make the trade laws fair. If these 8 men agree, then we will become the generation that made poverty history.
But they'll only do it if enough people tell them to.
That's why we're staging LIVE 8.
10 concerts, 100 artists, a million spectators, 2 billion viewers, and 1 message... To get those 8 men, in that 1 room,
TO STOP 30,000 CHILDREN DYING EVERY SINGLE DAY OF EXTREME POVERTY.
NO, the man and the baby are just sleeping...

Hi Janos, I like this composition although you might have left a bit more space at the feet of the man. However the unusual attitude of the man, the grainy B&W and original round mettalic frame of that bench make it an interesting picture.

That's not a very sharp one, Janos; but you pass on the message perfectly...
Well done to present the pic in B&W!

Ciao Janos, j'aime bien ton image un peu façon rétro de cet échange affectif entre cet homme et son bébé, en plus le N&B lui convient à merveille. Ciao/jr
