As a bleeding heart liberal, I was always attracted to social realism. I know there are always issues around authenticity but this photo by Dorothea Lange haunted me when I was a teenager and reading SteinbeckView attachment 27063

I am a bleeding heart liberal too. Probably the reason I ended up being a photojournalist/news photographer for a living was due to seeing Don McCullin's pictures in the Sunday Times as a child. My parents bought the paper every week. I don't remember the words but the images are seared into my mind. Before Andrew Neil took over as editor and turned it into a leisure supplement. A harbinger of the Thatcher years. Biafra - 1968 - albino child - famine. I.
“Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.†- Don McCullin
