We tend to think that summers are quiet. And while we try to spend most of our time basking in the sun, the world continues to evolve rapidly . Some of us try to change the color of our skins in order to physically mark this rite of passage, hoping to display it as a badge of honor as we walk back the hallways of our offices. Others will sink their intellectual teeth into discovery, be it educational or geographic, abandoning only for a while our habits and routines. Others will seek out family members and reunite outside of social media only to share those private moments with strangers barely known via pictures on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. But for most of the world, there is no break. The wars keep on raging, the ice keep on melting, poverty continues to kill and sorrow keeps on being a winner. Photographers are part of those who never seem to take a break and if they do get a tan, it is by accident, standing in the blazing sun waiting for that picture that will make you react, think, pause and maybe understand. There is no summer break for photography and it's not because you have not seen it that it did not happen. In fact, it will probably get to you, at the turn of a page, at a click of a mouse, where that image, taken a few weeks, a few months ago, will come and show you what you thought didn't exist. It is probably out there already, waiting for your attention to return. There is no summer break for photography because there is no summer break for the world. Events still happen and photographers still capture them. We, break or not break, should not attempt to ignore that.
