Gracias por el comentario. Estoy de acuerdo contigo en ese aspecto Felipe. Es algo que me sorprendió bastante del Forum... muchas de las empresas allí presentes tiene algo (o mucho) de explotadoras..... pero lo cortés no quita lo valiente, no?. Hay una situación de injusticia social y laboral, y la denuncia está ahí. Por cierto, todo el area donde se ubicaba esta exposición y otras, estaba patrocinada por Oxfam... no por otras conocidas multinacionales.... :P. En fin, es verdad que el Forum tiene una cara hipócrita bastante grande, pero a muchos, como a mi, sirvió para concienciarnos de algunos problemas que desconocemos y para que nos decidieramos a aportar nuestro granito de arena...

Rafa, la foto es muy buena, pero resulta que bastantes de las empresas que hacen posible que el campesino cafetero se muera de hammbre son precisamente las patrocinadoras de ese lavado de cara llamado forum de las culturas (sí, yo soy otro de sus enemigos!)
Un saludo

My opinion is different from yours but the matter is not related to photography so I won't elaborate here :-)

Hi Matej,
yeah, all of that was into account. There's supposed to be an strange relationship between helps that governments of third world give to the people that plant coffee and the aranceles and the rates and customs paid when this coffee is imported in Europe. (It looks like we get more money with our customs than the money we give as help to the third world people that plant coffee, what a business!!!). Today it's possible to buy in Spain fair trade coffee that's supposed to not punish the most weak link in the chain (the farmer) in favour of the most powerful and rich. Photographically speaking, many thanks for your comments :). I agree with you statistics are never reliable! (but we all know how we exploit third world in order to maintain and "improve" our life style).

Hi Rafa, when the thumbnail popped up on the commenting screen, I guessed this would be yours :-)
Nicely composed, and the DOF with the contrast work well together to direct attention to the black cup.
Do you know if the installation takes into account purchasing powers, average wages, transportation costs, bureaucratically introduced import/export/processing barriers, etc? Sometimes numbers are intentionally made look scarier than they are, and other times they don't look as scary as they should :-(
You know the saying, "I only trust the statistics I manipulated myself" :-)
