CHILDREN OF GELUK This body of work is intended to be an uplifting visual correlation
between children and the future of our country. The images were photographed throughout
South Africa over a period of four years. I delight in the way that children live in the
moment, whatever their circumstances, and consider this to be a gift that adults lose.
Unfortunately many children are innocent heirs to a previous generation’s harsh legacy. Is
it not more important that our children inherit a world they can be proud of rather than one
that needs to be continually patched up?. As a parent I feels distressed about children who
live in poverty and hope that these photographs will somehow document of hope within the
history of a country trying to overcome poverty. |
