an important story

I just added a button on the side of the blog to support Doctors Without Borders' (MSF's) Starved for Attention campaign to "rewrite the story" of childhood malnutrition.

Go to the site, watch the videos, SIGN THE PETITION.

My intention is for the blog to focus on writing, reading, an art. But this is an important issue and a great campaign. Besides, with a tag line about rewriting stories and such incredible photographers as Marcus Bleasdale, Ron Haviv, Jessica Dimmock, and others involved, the campaign certainly has artistic merit.

My favorites are Jessica Dimmock's "A Mother's Devotion" and Franco Pagetti's "The Malnutrition That Shouldn't Be." Jessica's for the breathtaking beautify of her images. Franco's for the heartbreaking story. Watch them. Then take action.
