oh what a weekend..
started out in tate modern with sass, wanted to get THE slide but by the time we got to the ticket point out "sliding" time would have been 5p.m. and since i had a date coming up at 5, we had to postpone it until next saturday...we then went to national theatre to see the reuters, state of the world, exhibition which was absolutelly brilliant...i was so impressed and touched and affected..fantastic photography..photographers gallery to follow, hundreds of uplifting conversations and jokes and silences...got home at 3am so feel a bit rough today but loving life at this exact point!!!
now, re reuters...there was a photo by arko datta. it won the world press photo award.. the one you might have seen and im posting it here...heres a story behind it:
Woman mourns relative killed in tsunami, Cuddalore, India, Tamil Nadu, 28 December. On December 26 a massive earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, triggered a series of deadly waves that traveled around the Indian Ocean, wreaking havoc in nine Asian countries, and causing fatalities as far away as Somalia and Tanzania. The quake was so strong that it altered the tilt of the planet by 2,5 centimeters. Nearly 300,000 people died or were reported missing, and millions were left destitute in the worst natural disaster in living memory. In India, the fishing communities in Tamil Nadu were among the worst hit, with homes, lives and livelihoods being wiped away.
do go if you have some free time...just imagine the worlds captured and looking at you...
