If you want to elevate yourself above what I do by judging it without taking any time to understand it, I cant stop you. I can judge you too, and I do: I think people who do such things are pompous and superficial asses who feel they have a right to dissect the work of others with the dull scalpel of their own rhetoric and language they barely know how to use. I think such people are (perhaps willfully) blind to the scope of the problem that this phenomena represents, both on a local and a national level. What I do isnt perfect. I have dedicated my life to it because I feel it is important and I hope it accomplishes some Greater Good, but I have no control over what its actual effects are. I am throwing this bottled message into the ocean in hopes that whoever recovers it, in whatever time and place they are at, they can understand the slow-motion train wreck that I see unfolding before me. Maybe that will happen in time to do something about it, and maybe it wont. Maybe it will only serve as a snapshot of a moment in time, and show what that moment was - not the past of the places I photograph, a time which is already gone. Im trying to record the present, MY present, and the era I live in. Yep, I just quoted myself. What kind of a jerk would do that?
