photos

The spot news photos caught my eye more than any of the slideshows or other photos because of their "rawness". I was wondering if and where the photos were published... If they were I am sure that there had to have been a huge backlash against the person taking the photos and the media outlet that published it.

The photo with a severed head is the most disturbing, but the one with the little girl covered in the blood of her dead parents is by far the best one. It has so many different things to it; the little girl, the bottom half of a soldier, his gun, the light on his gun, the blood on the ground as well as the little girl, and the room itself in being pitch black beside the light on the gun. I was wondering if the photographer even had his flash on when he took the photo because it doesn't look like he did which is a good idea because it would have ruined the "naturalness" of the situation in the room.
