You know, somehow I can't get into this topic as a photojournalist kind of thing. They should do as I have been doing.... photographing your own misery for the last 2 years without a job... then, I will be impressed.😱

Perspectives change when it happens to you. I remember the discussion from years ago about how a recession is when your neighbor doesn't have a job, but when it happens to you it's a DEPRESSION!:bang:

Great writing and pictures, and a compelling description of the difficulty to mold the current situation into images. Fascinating.
