*The Ideology of We/Me*
The most grandiose result of a photographic enterprise is to give us a
sense that we can hold the whole world in our heads- as an anthology of
images.
*-Susan Sontag*
The dominating Me of humankind today has cost the over 1000 species over
the last 500 years. The rate of extinction of both species and landscape is
alarming, if WE don’t wake up to the importance of conservation as a
collective.
A photographer captures energy in a single frame appropriating what is
captured. In a frame is energy of an Individual ‘ME’; the smallest unit of
the of the world. The meaning comes to the image only after a reflection,
in this case, to the larger context of conservation.
WE-ME is an anthology of wildlife captured by three photographers works as
a collective; the first in the series of contribution we make towards
conservation.The captures are a reflection of species that add value to the
ecosystem and the landscapes that are key to the survival of the species.
WE - the humankind need awakening to the threats that we are posing to the
species, landscape and ourselves in the process.
Conservation today is about how WE retaining the species and their
ecosystems; for the future of a healthy planet.

*About the Exhibition : *
WE-ME - is the beginning of a journey for three wildlife enthusiasts; as we
come together to exhibit our images from nature. We wanted to make a
significant mark with our beginning and contribute to conservation.
We are putting out our exhibited images on sale, the proceeds of which will
be donated to *Nature Conservation Foundation*: a deemed organization that
is recognized for pioneering research and policy contributions in the field
of conservation.
I am enclosing an invite of the exhibition as an inline to the mail.
Request everyone to take time and make it to the exhibition.
Regards
Hari Somashekar
