EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Dean Lewins, we witness the devastating impact of drought on crop farmer Neil Westcott's failed Canola crop near Parkes, New South Wales. The image serves as a stark reminder that the entire state has been declared 100% drought-stricken, leaving farmers like Westcott feeling neglected and overlooked compared to their livestock-producing counterparts. As we gaze upon the desolate landscape, characterized by red dirt and withered crops, it becomes evident that these hardworking individuals are facing an uphill battle against nature's wrath. The dryness is palpable; it permeates every inch of the frame. The photograph not only highlights the environmental crisis but also sheds light on social issues and human interest at play. It prompts us to question why crop farmers seem to receive less attention from both the public and government in comparison to livestock producers during times of drought. Their struggle for survival deserves equal recognition and support. Lewins' composition captures Westcott walking amidst his ruined harvest, symbolizing resilience in adversity. This single snapshot encapsulates the plight faced by countless farmers across New South Wales who desperately need assistance to feed their families and sustain their livelihoods. Through this poignant image, Lewins invites us all to contemplate our responsibility towards those affected by drought conditions in Australia's outback regions.
