Y a plus de mots , plus de raisons, rien ny fait ! ni la douleur , ni la peine , et encore moins les images ! face a l ' indifférence on se meurt ! gardons les Pieds les sur terre , dois t 'on arriver au revolver sous le lit et la veste militaire sous le pull gris comme dirait cabrel , trop de méfiance dans l ' humanité ! trop de mots trop de promesses et rien ne change ! juste de l ' indifférence ! bravo à toute l ' équipe de magnum , je passe mes nuits a regarder vos images , chaque instant de ma vie je me dis , ca vaut la peine de donner , donner , aimer , donner , faire rever , et encore , car comme dirait gibran cet instant c est ta vie , et la vie des autres c est la notre , on est tous au milieu de ce magma , ce feu de la vie qui nous ronge , c est pas complique d ' aimer au final la vie passe vite a ce qu on dit !

ojala se pudiera hacer algo asi en venezuela, el pais está enfrentando una serie de enfermedades endémicas y los gobiernos gastan grandes sumas de dinero que nunca llegan a los más pobres, algo tan sencillo como es un mosquitero, a nadie se le ocurre que puede evitar la picada del mosquito patas blancas, todo se va en discursos y más habladeras sin llegar a lo fundamental. hemos retrocedido a niveles alarmantes en estos ultimos años y no se ve mejoras en la actuación de los politicos.

Peter - the corruption doesn't surprise me at all. It seems to be an integral part of politics over there. Unfortunately it also seems unavoidable..

Larry Towell's Indecisive Moments Documentary
Martin Fuchs

Larry Towell is a photojournalist who travels reluctantly and only when the subject really matters. But if he travels he does so to really follow his subjects around for a long time, he tells a story from a very humanistic point of view adding his own unique perspective. From 1993 to 2006 he photographed in Israel and Palestine, producing an immense body of work. Two amazing books, "Then Palestine" and "No Man's Land", arose out of this work.
