Last saturday, June 5th, me and my friends went to a print exhibition at The Annenberg Space for Photography. Right now they are presenting exhibit about the precarious state of the world’s fresh water. Coinciding with National Geographic’s special issue "Water: Our Thirsty World," this exhibit features the work of award-winning photographers looking at our most precious resource from environmental, social, political and cultural perspectives.
Attending this exhibit, really an open-eyes experience. The pictures tell a lot of stories. A tips from the photographer : A good picture is not "judged" from how good the quality is but what is the story behind the picture.
I feel sad looking at some of the pictures. There are places in this world where water supplies are insufficient and the other they have overflowing water supplies. Sad to see that in this area in Kenya, the ladies have to walk 5 hours carrying 5 pounds of clean water everyday. 5 lbs!! Dang!! (There is a sample of the 5 lbs water, n it's freaking heavy!)
A lot of creatures that are affected by the dirty and contaminated water e.g. the turtle, fish, bear, birds, frogs etc. In some countries, water is a sacred thing for them.
Be grateful of what we have, save water!
