Life Through a Different Lens

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at KU chapter.

Photography can many times be more than just a simple action. Photography can be a medium in which an individual uses to inform others of truths or facts in the world that one either does not know or does not want to know. The following photographs are glimpses into places, regions and homes where many times a good life has an entirely different meaning from ours.

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is manmade and can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it fall on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.” — Nelson Mandela
