Democratic Republic of Congo photos

Wow. These pictures scream so much louder the dilemmas of the Conganese than any written story could. The child strapped with a gun, the mourning at the funeral, the corpse on the side of the road, even the common breast feeding scene... all of these capture so many emotions, questions, and struggles. These scenes are all so private and intense, I simply could not imagine the intrusion a camera would make. As a photographer, I would feel almost rude attempting to capture the tears and heartbreak shown in these photos. Still, I guess that's just something a photographer would have to overcome in order to tell a story so necessary and compelling.
