Project: Who Cares?
Storytelling – Who Cares?
The advice for people who want to write is to write what you know. I chose to not write but to tell this particular story using pictures. It is what I know and it has shaped and will no doubt continue to shape the rest of my life.
Using photography to communicate a situation, a feeling and a state of mind is a very powerful release.
Through research I found that there are many who experience the same story and are living it right now. How then do people feel when they hear news stories with ‘advice’ from Tory care minister David Mowat about the need for us all to take care of our elderly parents. Some would say that they are doing that anyway, and some would say that they don’t have to wait until their parents are elderly, there are young people who also are carers. Don’t you know the statistics? Don’t you know how carers are affected? And what can you, as a government minister, do to support us? These are just a few questions that would arise. Support on many levels is key.
