I have been conservative about using PS artistic filters. Please let

me know what you do. Thanks!

Yosemite seems to be the favorite subject to be photographed. What

about an IR picture?

I took the IR picture, unsaturated, and then solarized. I wonder

what I can do to make it more spooky.

Maria, this picture is taken at the law school. That house is actually the Berkman Center for Internet.

The house was cut off after de-fish.

I am wondering if the direct shot of sun works in this picture. I was

actually surprised that the sun did no wash out the whole picture.

Interesting plant, really... grows in desert and stands the extreme

weather.

Just looked at other photos in your folder. Quiet a shocking experience. I really admire that you endanger yourself to capture the horror of the war. Shocked as I am looking at your photos, I somehow feel that there is no way I can even understand the true magnitude of the horro just by looking at the pictures.

Thank you for posting.

I always feel uneasy when photographing something like this.'

I am not sure why the person was under surgery. But I can tell that he was in pain.

As a photographer, I feel for situation like that we tend to trivialize other people's pain with pictures.

Sure, picture do somewhat capture the pain and horror. But it's from a perspective of an outsider who feels lucky that she/he is not the one lying there.

When we look at pictures like that, we do have sympathy. But I suspect the pity is often patronizing.

It is simply indecent to reduce human suffering like that into pictures. I am not even sure if there is meaningful consent to have the picture taken.

I am not criticizing what photo journalists do. But I do feel that other people/culture's dignity is violated when this kind of picture is taken. It is like watching caged animals.

I thought the shape is pretty interesting. Perhaps some manipulations

could make it more drastic.
