Speaking of photos ...
... today's big topic seems to be the GOP desperately trying to keep their crimes out of the public eye.

The GOP seems to understand the power of photographs and want to hide the consequences for their policies by hiding certain photographs.

Remember Dover?



The power of images was what is behind the "Untitled New New Deal Photograph" project.

Image how powerful all our photographs will be.

2. Thank you.
And, if you haven't already, take your camera and get photographs of your town.

6. Thank you all who serve in the Military...
As a Vietnam Vet, my heart weeps for the true American heroes. Rest in Peace and may all that is good be with your families.

8. Thank you Ghost in the Machine! We have the right to know/see the truth!
I'm an adult, I can take it, and I want to KNOW what OUR government is doing to these people - these very real people just like you and me.

13. Photos don't include the smell. Or the sound. Or the feeling of the air.
Edited on Thu May-14-09 10:50 AM by TahitiNut
Whenever people exaggerate the "information" contained in a photo, I just think back to Nam ... and the hours of boredom leavened by times of ridiculous Mickey Mouse horseshit and punctuated by so many moments of terror. It's a "full body" experience, not anything as sterile as a photograph.

How do you photograph a human being's psyche screaming to get out?
