Ci auguriamo che il nostro piccolo contributo possa risultare utile a "My Name is Help", che si occupa dell'istruzione dei bambini orfani del Watamu, in Kenya. Nell'aprile del 2009 l'Associazione è riuscita a edificare una scuola, un grande successo che merita tutto il nostro aiuto per poter essere gestito con regolarità e continuità. asilokenya.jpg Grazie a tutti!

 Shut down your computer and go live!
 Source: 500photographers.blogspot.com
This is not a written piece that issupposed to make you sad or feel pity; it is a calling to you and myself. It isnot a manifesto or a preach. It is what it is.
Yesterday I entered the living room of my girlfriend?sparents. My girlfriend and I have been together for ten years. She had gonewith her parents and her brother to the hospital to hear what could be doneabout the recently found tumor in her mothers (62) pancreas. The result wasdevastating. It cannot be operated and there is no other cure possible. Shehopes to live to see their 40th anniversary of marriage, her next birthday and that of her husband in January. Ientered the room where the family was sitting at the dining table. They wereall defeated. With tears in their eyes they greeted me one by one by receivingand giving a big hug. I had heard the news earlier in the afternoon by phone,but entering this room became a reality check. The mother would like to fightbut that is impossible. Even though the news has not sunk in, she has alreadydecided to make each day count. She also looked back at her life and was happywith the way she has lived it.

The described happening got thoughtsrunning through my head and often they were intertwined with photography, myown life and people in general. Not all of these thoughts were completely sanebut did lead to answers further down the road. Thoughts about how we spend our time.Recently I had read a post by photographer Jeremy Cowart on how he wished he had invested less time into e-mailing and his words stuck with me. It?s notonly e-mail, it?s also facebook, twitter, the internet in general, TV and otherprocrastinating activities. Being completely honest, I am sometimes too good atprocrastination and it can sometimes lead to a void. Of course I thought about500 Photographers within this context, and to be 100% honest the thoughtcrossed my mind that it is an irrelevant piece of internet in which I haveinvested thousands of hours of my life, sitting on a chair, staring at ascreen. Luckily I can say that this is not true. The ?archive? I?m building hasvalue to me. I started it for myself in order to learn. A side-effect of thisproject is you, a large amount of visitors that come here for inspiration; thatis something of value too and gives this project something extra. I?m proud ofthat.

What I?m trying to get at is that I trulybelieve that you should not be spending too much time on this website. The samecounts for twitter, facebook and all the other activities that might give usinstant gratification, yet does not give you much in return in the long run. Godo that which will give you fulfillment. I know that 90% of the visitors ofthis website are active in the creative field. When you finish reading thismessage, turn of your computer and go produce, plan a shoot, pick up a pen andwrite down ideas. Whatever gets you moving forward into creating something.While you do this, promise me one thing: make itsomething of value to yourself. Forget about what your clients might like, whatyour parents, neighbors or anyone else would like to see you do. Do what youneed to do and make it count.

I?m going to finish 500 Photographers and Iwill probably continue in some way once the list is complete. However, I?mgoing to do my utmost best to create a photographic oeuvre of which I?m proud. Let?s allmake the short time we have on this planet count, first and foremost forourselves. Go live and enjoy it, I know I will!  
 Photographer #434: Peter Hapak
 Source: 500photographers.blogspot.com
Peter Hapak, 1973, Hungary, is a versatile photographer based in the US. He works for commercial and editorial clients, but his main focus lies on portraiture and the human body. For Time Magazine he has created impressive series, of which the latest is called The Protester. Time had named the Protester as person of the year 2011 and commisioned Hapak to travel to seven different countries to portray the protesters. In countries as Egypt, Spain, Greece and Tunesia he set up a makeshift studio in hotel rooms, anarchist headquarters and even in a temple in India. Peter also asked the portrayed to bring mementos of protest. Amongst the objects brought were Iphones, rubber pellets and Maalox, a substance used to counter the effects of tear gas. Another story he focused on were the Chilean miners that were trapped in  2010 which resulted in a strong series of black and white portraits. Peter has photographed a vast amount of celebrities as Robin Williams, Bono and Colin Firth. The following images come from the series The Protester, The Art of War: Honoring the Fallen for a Lifetime and Finding the Chilean Miners.
