I was going to print tonight but after reading about what's happening in southeast asia from the tsunami I just didn't have the heart. I look at the contact sheets of the pictures I was going to print but nothing is there--it seems so shallow. At times, and especially times like this, I question my direction, style, content, etc. Is it doing anything, is it helping anything.
I guess you could say if you're making someone's life a little better--improving a bad day with this website by offering something interesting to read or look at, or by giving someone moments of happiness through a cherished photo hanging on the wall--you're doing something to help. But at times like these you question if that's enough. Could you be taking photos that somehow can have an impact to improve many people's lives or maybe even save lives or to help protect the environment. I don't know.
