SocialDocumentary.net has posted an amazing photo essay entitled EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community by David Rochkind.
The WHO estimates that one third of the world’s population is infected with the bacteria that can cause TB and that nearly 1.8 million people die from the disease every year.
The photos are also being used as part of an educational project about TB at tbepidemic.org
You can view the photos at SocialDocumentary.net
There are so many people in the world that live in a state of poverty or close to it, and so many others that live in such wealth that are oblivious to the other half. I think this situation needs to be corrected, and the first step is education. Photography can play a big part in that education, and that is why my wife and I have started Collective Lens.
I'm also a web and software developer, an avid photographer, a traveler, and a runner.
