Documentary Photography - an interesting blog

I chanced upon this blog via Source magazine and found it very readable.

What attracted me in particular was the variety, the fact that it featured so many different photographers and also each artist wrote about the actual image putting it into context and adding extra information.
I was struck by one image posted on February 1st 2012 by Anne-Stine Johnsbraten called Mom and Dad, Christmas Eve, Oslo 2007. A domestic scene with real unstaged emotion.

Many images in the blog are from around the world, often in exotic places but documentary photography can originate in your own house as Johnsbraten's image demonstrates. Some months ago my daughter was revising (with her mother helping) for her mock GCEs. She was tired and fed up and the atmosphere was tense so I took a quick shot of the scene, but she looked up just as I pressed the shutter, however her "hacked off" expression suitably conveys her mood and will always remind me (and her) of a moment in time which otherwise we would probably quickly forget.
