If their photo’s weren’t so damn powerful I would stop putting them up, but VII has done it again (2nd or 3rd posting on EH I believe). This time they have joined forces with the Red Cross to launch a campaign that raises awareness on today’s most pressing human challenges.This photo was taken recently in Afghanistan by James Nachtwey. I find it interesting that these types of photos are shown all over the world on international news programs. At one point the BBC devoted an entire segment to sharing ‘conflict photography.’ Meanwhile American news channels are busy instilling fear in its citizens with the Swine Flu or Air Force One flyby in lower Manhattan. I work for a news channel; I’m allowed to say these things.
American media take note; this photo speaks louder than all of the guests on Meet the Press in the last 5 years combined. And there have been some loud guest on MTP, very loud….
