We live in developed countries but is this development sane? Christoph Gielen photographs our world to show Human life sprawling over the earth planet and how we tend to transform it into something utterly different. Question: What do you consider your worst weakness in photography and how you try and correct it? Answer from Christoph…

Immigrant workers are often seen in a negative light, sometimes in a condescending way. But they are also people who accepted to take considerable risks, who proved their courage in deciding to leave everything else behind to change for a new world.

Now, this is a post I have been wanting to write for a very long time. Michele is a great friend of mine (independently of her photography work) but (I think) this has only a limited impact on my appreciation of her work.
