War sucks
Images practically noone ever sees of the battle field. Why not? A numb idea of war is non-reality.
A photograph that shocked the world:
an Armenian boy deadly wounded as a result of Azerbaijani aerial bombardment of Nagorno Karabakh’s capital city of Stepanakert.

Ik moet dringend eens nieuw werk bekijken van anderen, eens mijn zinnen verzetten en mijn zaken loslaten.

Viewbook Photostory wedstrijd
Wedstrijden zijn altijd aangenaam. Al is het maar om het werk van anderen te bekijken. Weten waar anderen mee bezig zijn, vind ik interessant. Stemmen is mogelijk voor deze twee reeksen van me :
Contests are great. Even if it was for just enjoying someone elses imagery. Voting for two personal essays is possible at :

Un dos tres
1, 2, 3 … three interesting viewpoints to me : last but not least, the referee judging upon the infliction of Rockys adversary. Second : Stallones rock hard punch and expression. For most third but personally very interesting: the perfectly alligned adversary head and glove finishes this shot beyond any extent.

THE FLOODED GRAVE (after a photograph by Jeff Wall)
by Graham FoustIn what’s become this room
we are hostless
for the most part.There is infinite glitter.
There is earth.An open grave,
let’s say–not automatically
horrific–or
the not saying “raining”
in what is now this room.We tune and we fade,
not undetermined upon bloom.We shatter that way.
We don’t and then we do.The Flooded Grave 1998–2000 by Jeff Wall
