gm gm. Some of my collected work on @foundation. Unfortunately B&W reportage work is not the flavor of the month. Never was, really. Curiosity about the world and being non-judgmental about the multitude of cultures in it are prerequisites. These images are about the other, and, paradoxically, about me (and the viewer), because self and other are but poles of the same field. It is said that we only start appreciating what no longer is present. Documentary photography therefore is an important piece of the puzzle that is our existence. As the world turns evermore inwards I will continue to focus my lens outwards and hope that there's sufficient support to be able to do that. But even in the absence of said support I will find a way to continue as it connects me to the wonder of it all, and that, my friends, is all that one could hope for in this magnificent journey called life. @Lightchronicler" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">foundation.app/@Lightchronicl…

@lisaelsewhere And what a state it is…..

@lightchronicler Artists through time have always spoken about the current state of the world

It's hard to gain visibility and followers on X as a documentary photographer. Some advice to stay clear of politics and not comment of the current state of the world. But when one's photography has always been about the soul of humanity keeping quiet is never an option.

@VMathumegalan To each their own.

@lightchronicler Some People try to do art without politics here it might work for them

@TimRussellPhoto 😂

@lightchronicler The guy breeds fighting cocks so that chick is probably heavyweight champion of Thailand by now 😁

Show me a bird you clicked!

@TimRussellPhoto Great shot Tim!

@SoumyaGeetha I guess I’m saying there’s more important things in life than going for max reach on X.

@lightchronicler NFT community isolated you. And we have more than 550 million accounts here. Even if we say 1% of them will be interested in your work.. It's our work to reach them isn't it? Just my observation.

Whatever you do, don’t take yourself too seriously.

@ddoniolvalcroze @seanmundyphoto Need to see the movie again. Mesmerizing.

Do you know that you can order Greeting Cards with some of my best known images from Bikes of Burden and other collections? Directly from my website. Perfect for special occasions when snailmail beats the apps. hanskemp.com/greeting-cards/

Masuleh, Iran, 1997 The Man in the Mirror. The interior of a tea-house in the remote mountain village of Masuleh in the Alborz Mountains of Northern Iran. Every tea-house has a place where you can wash your hands. When I sat down at my little table, the reflection of a man seated at a nearby table appeared in the mirror above the hand wash basin. After my simple meal I walked up to the cashier to pay but was told that someone had already paid for me. Was it the man in the mirror? @Lightchronicler" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">foundation.app/@Lightchronicl…

Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, 1990 Lightsweepers. Attendants dust the floor of the train station in Hohhot, the capital of China's province of Inner Mongolia. Beams of light and long shadows cast on the floor work together to create a moody atmosphere, one that I tried to emphasize by photographing into the light. @Lightchronicler" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">foundation.app/@Lightchronicl…

Remember all the stories of Jews having to hide in WW2? Israeli troops will be searching the houses of Christians for hidden Muslims. But oh - we are not allowed to make any comparisons with Nazis. Because that might hurt the feelings of genocide supporters.

We are living in a time where evil is fully exposed, and people still refuse to see it. The central bankers print trillions to fund endless wars, poison the food supply with toxins, and engineer "pandemics" to lock us down. Digital IDs, CBDCs, black budgets siphoning $21 trillion, it's all out in the open now. The data is there. The math doesn't lie. Yet the spell holds. Comfortable slaves scroll past the truth, chasing distractions while the plantation tightens. Wake up. Break the trance. Your freedom depends on seeing what's right in front of you.

Might be worth nailing Trump to a cross for the weekend, see what happens by Monday…
