The First Movie

I read a quote by the Photographer Stuart Freedman  this morning.

" I see so many photographers making work that purports to show an explanation of a subject but actually is little more than graphic cliche of a situation. That, at a time of crisis for visual journalism, isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to simply point a camera at someone and say ‘how terrible’

I have image fatigue from shots of Iraq and Afghanistan. Freedmans quote got me thinking about  Mark Cousins beautiful film The First Movie


How wonderful
