Oh man... this place can go from gorgeous crazy lovely to "fuckme I can't believe the horror"....
AGGGGHHHH!
Papua New Guinea has to be close to the most beautiful, most ugly, most wonderful, most brutal country in the Pacific. This shot of the Moon setting over Isurava at 6am is dedicated to all of those who have been fucked, robbed, raped, beaten, and assaulted in bringing peace love and hugs to this country.
@nikond40x thank you Rhonda, I am okay. My sweeter, more perfect half is safe in Australia. The day after tomorrow, I am heading out into the beautiful part of PNG. I only apologise for my words...
Don't be sorry. Emotions are yours. I hope it gets better for you out in the beautiful part. Stay safe.
And prayers for all who are working towards peace anywhere in the world.
you and your words are beautiful and amazing, and you should not apologize. I hope hope hope you are safe, and that you are feeling better soon my friend
Saddened and completely understanding of the need for such words at times. Glad you and yours are safe, hope that continues. Enjoy your time with the people of PNG. Beautiful moon. :)
I am glad you are well and your words are strong and I love reading them and I dont need to apologize for them, As your shots are from 2008, can I ask, Is this beautiful place at peace?
Beautiful shot. Rough and raw but your words speak volumes about your heart and soul. If it didn't make you crazy, giddy and despairing you wouldn't have made half the impact on the people there and those of us voyeurs who've been privileged to follow you. At the risk of being fatuous; Chin up, there are those of us with you in mind and spirit if not in body. I have no idea what I could do to help but if you can think of something let me know. Cheers!
i agree with everyone else on here. No need to be sorry. Photography is a way of expression.....and so are the words. I admire you and your work and your honesty. I too, hope you are safe and well.
The moon looks SOOOOO unbelievable in this shot. a must fav for me.
take care jason.
:( Beautiful moon shot.
That's a tough spot. There were things that we learned about the culture of some of the tribes there that I was going to ask you about, but it seems you've answered with this one picture and comment. In some ways I didn't want to ask because you do present this country as such a beautiful, albeit wild at times, place. Sending hugs.
