Terrible War

Delightful photo -- the swart hand perfects it.

Some photosites are reticent to allow such politically provocative images...

for all the negatives aspects of this site that i just can't seem to resist pointing out...i too applaud the fact that there's no censorship of such an image. perhaps the photographer is sympathetic to the message...perhaps not. the point is, it is dramatically documentary and important that we view without bias. the hand...ahh...the hand. it does, truly make the shot. every letter, every crinkle in the paper, the brilliant choice of cropping... all make a strong contribution to the value of the picture. this is the type of shot that makes one want to pursue the craft with passion... john
