After our lecture tonight I had to come and write about the documentary film that we saw. It was facinating to watch. It was very interesting - it depicted how people really live, love, mourn. It was actually heartwarming to see that they do not isolate those family members who aren't born 'normal' - they kept their families together and did it unselfishly.
I found some of the comments from other photographers, etc. very negative about his books and pictures. I found his pictures to be a refreshing depiction of what life is really like for these people - hard, weary, poor, happy, sad - its what we all live every day. The pictures were not taken of things/people that we really want to see - maybe that's one reason why others objected?
It was a facinating documentary film - and I would like to see more of his work; I will have to look for his pictures and/or books.
