Kochi, Kerala, India.
This is a re-edit of a previously posted photo from my travels in India. I have an exhibition coming up and wanted a fresh approach to this shot.
This elderly man stood outside a church in Kochi. He asked me for some money and I asked him if I could take his picture. He looked like he was in pain so I asked him about it and he replied, "No pain, just hungry."
It's something to think about.
View large on black highly recommended.
Homeless man rummaging through dumpster for something to eat. Moments before this shot was taken, he was head-first, feet in the air, upside down in the dumpster digging around. I felt very sorry for him, but had nothing to offer him, so I just took his picture.
This memorial is off to the side, in a park, right before the Lavra. The enormous candle, decorated with wooden lace, stands in memory of the millions of people who died in the Holodomor --the Terror Famine.
Stalin and his Soviet government want to collectivise the farms --especially in the fertile steppes of Ukraine. To force this collectivisation, he basically made owning food illegal. Watchtowers sprung up in wheat fields to monitor peasants as they worked. In the years 1932-33 the population declined substantially --conservative estimates say over 1.5 million, but the number is probably bigger.
It is suggested that this was done for not just for ideological purposes, but for political and financial gain. The Cossacks and the vast array of ethnic groups (some of my own family among them) were resisting the Soviet vice that was squeezing them. Hunger, even death, would force the Ukranian population into embracing the Soviet plan. At the same time, Stalin flooded the foreign markets with Ukrainian grain and shunned all offers of help to feed the starving people.
Terrible stories have emerged from the time of Holodomor: people digging up the bones of dead and decaying animals and even resorting to cannibalism.
The memorial entrance is flanked by two angels. The young girl, holding five symbolic wheat heads, and surrounded by grindstones, precedes the candle memorial. We visited the memorial several times. On the second day, at the girl's feet. were red roses and small breads.
The memorial itself is over a museum to commemorate the Holodomor. Outside there are 3 plaques to remember the three famines. The first, 1921-22 was the famine that pushed my own family to Canada. Some stayed. My Great Aunt Emma and her family would have lived through that terrible time as possibly would have my Great Aunt Lydia.
City College staff, from all departments, joined Farmshare of America and Strike Out Hunger Food Drive in Alachua County to make a difference this holiday season.

In order to snap this pic I wonder what should be able to open their mouths. Touching the nest has no result at all. But blowing air sofly as the mother's wings... there it was!

Many mouths to feed; just a single morsel to spare!
This pic didn't quite come the way I hoped. The exposure isn't short enough, focus isn't sharp enough. There's something that's been constantly nagging me about this picture.
