I’ll second that thought on the clean compositions: so much power in these images. The KISS principle still works …

David, I was kidding about the “caderas moves” you’re very good!….the trick of lating cultures is to “always celebrate…even if you don’t know what you’re celebrating!”

un abrazo!

Great. Enjoy it.
I met Paul Mobley this summer on his book tour.
He put a lot of hard work into this project. Nice guy too.

No, no, no…
I’m the hypocrite…
I eat meat but at the same time I
prosecute the “butcher”..
Smiling.. Not U..
And I I could I would ask
that “butcher” girl out..
And if I also could I would
propose to my ex-wife once again..
Peace, smile and hugs…

Hey, my man, I ain’t no hypocrite. I don’t like pics of butchering animals & I don’t eat no animals either! It’s not that I’m shocked it’s just that I care too much about animals to eat them. But as I said earlier, I can still see that Amanda’s photo is remarkable.

I’ll second that Mike K..!!
“trader Joe’s” society..
We are all so sensitive all of
A sudden.. We are all hypocrites..
We love a double double burger with
grilled onions but we “hate”
the butcher..
Go figure…!

Hey Carlos,

Here’s another link: http://www.davidalanharvey.com/

Go to “Movies” and then “National Geographic” and there’s the same film only much better quality. (Takes a while to load, though!)

Cheers.

Cliff,

Good comment. And it is the same for cultures around the world. I think we’ve gotten too comfortable in our Safeway/Trader Joe’s society. I sometimes lament the loss of understanding of who we are as a species and from where our food derives. It should not be horrifying or shocking. To watch the likes of a Jaques Pepin make quick work or a chicken or duck, to catch and clean and eat your own trout or catfish, to understand certain South American cultures or Asian cultures and how they create their delicacies… this is beautiful stuff.

I’m not 100% certain I love the photo but as Charles Peterson said above, it does drawn one in and make you want to explore the greater body of work.

Good job, Amanda.
