Yes, it's third world, but certainly not the Indian style. Somehow, the people seem to be optimistic in your images.

Wonderful gallery.

You sure have an eye for color and beauty, albeit sad beauty; thanks - I enjoyed this gallery a lot - voted

Interesting pictures about people's every day lives. They are as happy as anybody else in their country of living enjoying every day life. I don't find them "special", jus informative.

As I know the two sides, I can only say that I would not want to swap back. But I do not need airco, macdo etcetera and try to live sober. And to do something meaningfull from the place where I am now.

I adore the optimism of the people in your photos. May their hope not be in vain and may
your work help the people in the west open their eyes.

I would swap places with them. See the million dollar smile on their faces? Just see the statistics on who's got the highest rate in suicides.It's not in the "Third World Country". It's in a country where you have these 'luxuries'.
Guest 23-May-2006 06:52
you know what i think? they are happy for you and proud of you co'z you have a beautiful camera that they dont have, also they are inspired and happy co'z you show them respect... powerful shots!

Exactly what I mean, you and the observors are in denial about this and just do not understand what it is like, I can accept it an it is the 3rd world, thats reality, this has nothing to do with the USA and beleive me, I am in close with them, what are you doing about it??
Chris Lusher13-Apr-2006 14:56
quesions you are asking yourself, not the observer. once you've accepted it yourself, then you stop referring to it as 3rd world....and then you realise what a communist state the US is and how utterly awful a place that is to live in. Nice photos by the way...but you are detracted from them...get in close and let the people feel you...you're a tourist with these

isn't it strange that without all that we have these people appear to be happy? We take what we have for granted and to a certain extent we do act far too superior. We should give thanks for all that we have and hope that one day these people will have some of the same stuff. Love the smiling faces. It is a great gallery. Nice job.

Nice gallery. We might stop to think that all of the services you mention are hardly eternal. Most of us looking at this from the U.S. may have all that- - unless you happen to be somehow looking from the Gulf Coast area. The violent and unexpected impact of natural disasters (and eventually political turmoil) should make us rethink our perceived superior status. Actually do not mean to seem so preachy and doomsday-ish, (and simplistic- - there are big differences in what I am comparing).

However, most if not all of the services you mention and that we tend to take for granted no longer exist around here, in a large portion of the southern United States, 7 months after the big storm.

Why would we swap places, just for fun or to prove some point :-) ? If yes, then which point to prove ? hahahahahaha

Eu acho muito interessante como voc~es europeus encontram aspectos pitorescos na miséria dos outros, miséria economica, claro, porque em termos de miseria moral, os povos dos paises do que vocês chamam de terceiro mundo, estas são encontradas nos ditos paises do "primeiro mundo".Tanto a Africa, quanto as americas central e do sul, foram extremamente expoliadas por europeus como o senhor.Aqui no Brasil, por exemplo, vocês devastaram o nordeste, antes de serem expulsos pelos portugueses , outros exploradores desalmados como todos daí.Logicamente que tudo em nome da catequese.Acho que , antes de expor como um grande feito o seu "vivendo em um pais do terceiro mundo", vocês deveriam mostrar as limitações e pobreza moral do primeiuro mundo.
