Re: Too many cameras and not enough food...
What strikes me about images like these, showing humans not only in a physical condition so extreme and appalling, but also in an environment so harsh and alien to us - is how that may play a part in us choosing to ignore them. They're not close to home, they're in Africa, and hey, we all know that's just what happens in Africa, and hell, they don't even look like us....

What you say about too many cameras might at first seem odd (ie. surely we need more exposure of this?) but on reflection, I wonder if there's some truth in it - that we've become so accustomed to just accepting that this is what Africa looks like, that it leads to a certain fatigue, a detachment from it all?
