#photography #gaza - Motaz Azaiza, Acclaimed Journalist from Gaza, on Photographing War & Making “Art from the Pain”: Democracy Now

9 October 2024

“I never expected the world will know my name [because of] a genocide of my people,” says Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, who gained international acclaim for his work during the first 108 days of Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza.

Since evacuating in January, Azaiza has brought his advocacy for Palestinian rights around the world. Democracy Now! speaks to him from Washington, D.C., where he has just wrapped up a nationwide speaking tour titled “Gaza Through My Lens” in support of UNRWA USA. “Israel is targeting our children.

Israel is targeting our babies, targeting our mothers, targeting our families. I just want to show the whole world so maybe I can bring help to my people through my photography,” Azaiza says.

Photography - still and video

Yesterday before I went to get my hair cut I went to the photograph shop in Villanueva del Rosario. They are going to transfer my 8mm video tapes to DVD - on one of them I have  theTorremolinos Feria and I may upload some to Youtube. I also have footage of my Formula Ford 1600 and my late mother.

If someone does come I may buy a new video camera so that the lady can post videos for her family as the 8mm is not suitable for this.  If this is the case I have promised Andy that I will film his wedding to Rosa on the 30th of June this year

Photography - I had thought about getting out with the camera today

Will try and do the street market on tuesday - there is a wood that I want to do a photographic session at various times of the year. Chopos (populars) to me are very photogenic. Pity about the wirescape in this one. This was taken about this time last winter and the soil was drenched with the rain, but it is good for the olives as it makes them bigger and this helps the farmer´s income :-)

the weather for the tuesday market looks OK

Villanueva del Rosario, Andalusia

this blog is my diary and unfortunately we live in a world where fraud is pretty rampant and I feel that I have a duty to my fellow human beings to expose it where ever possible and to save them from being victims of it.

As a balance to this rather depressing aspect of life I am enjoying photography and try and carry my camera where ever I go as you do not have to just take pictures when the sun is out! We will all die one day and perhaps one of the better aspects of the internet is that we can publish our photos so that when that certain day comes our photos will live on for family, friends and strangers to enjoy

After my German followers the next country following me are Russian so I will say it in Russian as best I can (thanks to Google)

Этот блог моего дневника, к сожалению, мы живем в мире, где мошенничества довольно быстрым и я чувствую, что я обязана моим человеческим собратьям, чтобы подвергать его, где это возможно и спасти их от жертв его.

В противовес этому довольно удручающий аспект жизни я наслаждаюсь фотографией и попытаться провести мою камеру, где я когда-нибудь выходить, как вам не нужно снимать только когда солнце выходит! Мы все умрем в один день и, пожалуй, одним из лучших аспектов Интернета является то, что мы можем опубликовать наши фотографии так, что когда что определенный день приходит наших фотографий будет жить для семьи, друзей и незнакомцев пользоваться

После моего немецкого последователей следующей стране после меня являются русский поэтому я буду говорить на русский, как могу (благодаря Google)
