Artist's Comments

Every see a news broadcast that talkes about someone that got hurt, mugged, murdered, raped and there were tons of people around that did nothing while it went on? That is indifference. I read a while ago about a homeless guy in the streets of NYC that was beaten by some kids. He layed there, in the street, bleeding, while people just walked by... For hours.

He died.

I am sure that behavior is not limited to NYC and the same thing can be related to any city or town in the world. Indifference is killing our spirit. It is not just indifference towards each other. It is indifference towards our environment, towards animals and towards anything different than us and our personal belief set.

I wrote this idea down a long time ago and have never been able to shoot it. This is the best I can do. Touchy subject for me.

Why paintballs? Because it doesn't matter. Could have been apples, water balloons, whatever.

that's a great concept...i really believe that intolerance has gone on far too long as well too...i love what you wrote and it's true...people actually do that...and no one knows why. just a question...do you have your own studio (i don't remember if i asked you or not)? how do you set these kinds of shots up? just wondering, because i'd like to do that kind of stuff. well thanks and GOOD JOB!

chilling piece and sad world we live, but then again this will never change unless everyone is "willing".. some gripes though i dont really like the dark shadow at the top left...seems there should be more space from the top this way seems they're more looking down like they care..
