Everywhere we look in life there are divisions between people. Language causes natural division, if you cannot understand what the other person is saying it is difficult to build a rapport. Lands also are a natural division between people with boundaries being set to mark ones territory over another. None of this seems to help society function and I am of the view this was not the original intention. So how do we build bridges across these divisions? Many would submit that great sporting events help bring people together. Of course that might be right but only in a limited way. Sporting events usually bring out our desire to support our own team or country so whilst we may admire performances from competitors from around the world we still tend to focus more on our own land. Music I suppose spans many divisions and we can truly enjoy the rhythm’s of different cultures without feeling a need to compete. It struck me recently that photography is also a good medium to build relationships across the world. I have a number of photography sites saved to my favourites list that I look at on a regular basis. As I was browsing this list the other day I took note of the fact that they were from all corners of the globe. We can admire all sorts of photographs that people from many different languages and lands produce without feeling any urge to protect our own turf. When I look at other photographers pictures I can gain inspiration to try something new and different and I am sure many other photographers feel the same way. We learn by what we look at and listen to, unfortunately we seem to live in a world where many do not listen so maybe more looking would help! So here are some more photographs to look at. Emma wanted some casual shots and we thought we would try a new location recently found. Hope you like them.
