Postcards from the world (a photography project)

This image about Guantanamo is the first one of a series i want to do called “Postcards from the world”. For the moment this is the first and the only picture, but all will be published in Flickr set, here is a direct link to the set.

I started this project becuase was something i need to do right now. I have fun making and publishing what we can call “vanity shots”, but in this moment wanted to use my skills in something more “productive(?)” too. Anyway i’m a bit worries about something: I don’t pretend to be a moral judge, or a moral reference, just pretend to show things in this world that I think are wrong. I’m just expressing my point of view with that images.

In the description of every image of this series in Flickr i write just some descriptive facts, no opinion becuase i want the image to show my opinion. Comments are opened so viewers can express their opinion about the matter.

In that first picture the debate was really interesting with people sharing different points of view, really interesting and diverse ways to confront an issue like the Guantanamo one.

Some next pictures will be about Child soldiers, genitalia mutilation in African women, illegal immigration (this is a big issue with a lot of faces, so possibly it will need more than one pic), domestic violence, … If you have any suggestion or want to collaborate don’t hesitate to comment this post with your thoughts.
