Do photographer's use tricks to makes things uglier....yes. So which is it pretty, or ugly. Who knows? It depends on who's looking. There can't really be a "plain spoken truth", can there? To capture the idea of something like natural destruction, it takes more than a still picture. It takes an image, or several images, or objects, or moving pictures, or smells to really understand the thing/experience. The stillness alone makes this picture quiet, and to me, sort of pretty. Probably not what the event was like, right? Maybe the photographer was trying to show the calm after the storm, if so this sort of works. So, I geuss it comes down to a picture is just a picture.

It's got to be tricky to even have victims let you in to document.scruffylookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995820134445131448noreply@blogger.com
