Wondeful images, with a depth of meaning to them. The spirit of these reminds me of how I became first captivated by the power of photography, when I first viewed (in book form) that epic collection, The Family of Man. I was later to go on and be inspired by your work, Steve. My gratitude, then…

I’m currently in Namche Bazaar, Nepal thinking exactly these same thoughts. The connection of people here is a phenomenon that i don’t see here every day at home in Sydney, Australia. Family definitely is Nature’s Masterpiece.

It’s so true that even if we don’t chose it by birth, family is the most important asset we have, specially when difficulties are there – splendid collection of photos !

Steve, very well done, families are what holds us all together. Well thought out, and the images are special. I know I will never get to most of the places you are photographing so I will live through you and your images.

Si y no. Puede ser el lugar de acogida y crecimiento, o el de encarcelamiento y destrucción. Para mi a sido el lugar de aprendizaje más duro que he tenido en mi infancia. Ahora ya sé porqué. Todo lo que la familia destruye tenemos que ir reconstruyéndolo a posteriori para recordar a que hemos venido aquí.
, no soy muy amiga de los halagos, me parecen uno de los más nefastos comportamientos que se utilizan para quedar bien y engrandecer egos, léase narcisismo.
Aún así, estémosles agradecidos a los que escogimos como padres, son los vehículos que nos permiten poder acceder a la iluminación para convertirnos en verdaderos seres humanos.
Lo siento
Me quedo con la última, es la que más cercanía refleja, las otras sólo distancia, aislamiento. Todo interpretado por mi claro, no la verdad.
Un abrazo, desde el corazón
