have just been to the wellington leg of the expo.

really moving collection.

yup i guess the theme is trying to bring attention to the suffering and hate that goes on far from the mainstream view.

Thats the only bad thing living here in Invercargill the big Expos don't come down here , there is the SPCA gallery down here at the moment

my favorite photo was the giraffe one. it was one of the few that didnt have a man made cause

i went also, i thought the pic at the super bowl was amazing.
But yea there was a lot of epic photos. The thing that shocked me was that the expo was of 2009 only, all those stories of suffering in one year, and those were just the pics that were chosen.Im sure there were hundreds more.
I had issues with the stoning series too... I guess we are so sheltered down here in nz.

[smurff]

the stoning series was interesting, was one of those ones that really made you think about things outside NZ
