Photography can be a powerful tool for changing the world. David Duchemin knows this. His photographs tell a moving story of the human condition. His images remind us of how we are all different and yet, at the same time, we are all interconnected as members of the same human family.

David’s photography succeeds in making a case for that infinite worth we all possess, one demanding recognition and respect. Wherever we are, whatever we do and however we look like, we are just as human and we enjoy in the same measure our fundamental entitlements as human beings.

Poverty can be totally abusive and dehumanizing. Words on a page or from a speech give us a concept of poverty. But photographs give poverty a face. The faces of the children of the world are a reason for hope in the midst of the harsh reality of poverty.

David gives a voice to the disadvantaged poor in our midst. He does it not with words, but with his photography. He sets our hearts afire. Our global brothers and sisters are calling out to us, so David’s images seem to be reminding us. Who are we to pretend not to hear?
