Why I refuse to post negative pictures of Africa.
It’s not that i don’t care about these causes BUT instead of taking a picture of a starving kid, perhaps you should feed them 1st? I refuse to support that kind of thinking, these photographers make milllllions of money out of one photo of a dying person. The person dies, the photographers gets paid, because they captured a “priceless moment”. Really? is that how life works? you benefit from some else’s misery? I don’t want to fall into that circle.
