Voices of Sudan

The uncensored lens of a camera is able to speak out for those who can no longer speak for themselves. Images force us to deal with the reality of a moment in time. We cannot ignore the human beings who stare from the pictures and then dismiss the image as a ploy to push a political agenda. Images do not distract with abstract numbers; instead they force us to wrestle with the captured human condition. Sometimes images speak out with laughter or joy, sometimes they speak out with courage and strength, and at other times they cry out for help. As we interact with the photographs of the Sudanese, we are left with two choices: either we ignore the voices, thus returning them to their current condition, or we help restore the power of their voices, by choosing to do something.
