Pretty Pictures

It’s pretty fucked up when guns are being pointed at you and directly behind them a gaggle of photographers waiting to catch that perfect shot. “Maybe the exit wound blood splatter will make a halo around that guys head and it will be this perfect Christ imagery.” Thinks one. “This will get me that award” Thinks the other.

The guy the who moves away from the situation and shoots the photographers is the guy I’m interested in. He’s missing that Eddie Adams photo that cam make him the modern day Eddie Adams all for the sake of saying something along the lines of, “Whoa this shit is pretty fucked up right here”.

We see pretty fucked up shit happen everyday but we never move away from the obvious focal point. I think if we did that more often we may be able to get a more interesting impression of the situation.

I guess there’s not much of a point to this post, but I have a new camera, as previously mentioned, and this picture was pretty inspirational.

And perhaps the guy with the guns and lenses pointed in his face feels like one less vulture is circling around him.
