FTB Projekt - Copenhagen

Set of lights with the city of Copenhagen in the background. Waiting for the time to board the ship bound for Oslo. There is always a reason to click.

FTB Projekt - Cigana

             


Everything is relative , everything has two sides, poles, opinions . Every coin has a face and a crown .
As a photographer I feel obliged to wear my lenses to denounce. I feel very sad when I meet people in a state of difficulty and social integration. I feel privileged to have a family, a base . I feel embarrassed by these people that did not have the same opportunity as me.
I wonder why. With no doubt I note a flawed, selfish and self-serving system, articulated by the large institutions, politicians and similar. The largest social problem in my view, is the limitation of education and no quality culture at all.
In the case of photography, ( a gypsy begging on the streets of Oslo ) know it is not an injustice .
Starting from the idea that giving is not social work. They say it would not help the Rome integration, education and professionalization . They say they do not accept . They like to live that way, a lifestyle .
I do not know their reality, nor their interests . But it is easy to realize that from the gypsies, and from the integrated society, this is a social problem in different perspectives .
