Description
In only one nighttime attack on Tokyo, 100,000 civilians were killed and over a million left wounded and homeless by massive fires. A line had been crossed; once civilian targets became acceptable, anything was possible--including the use of atomic weapons on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. ~ Howard ZinnMaterials Used: 35mm photography + PhotoShop

You have the uncanny ability to reach into a persons psyche and force them to face the reality of their humanity and at the same instance the inhumanity of their indescressions and this work is does not stray one iota from that concept. I can not speak for the thousands who have perrished in such horrible acts of agression. I can only hope that we as a race can learn from our mistakes. (in reference to the atomic bomb) I'v allways considerd the power of the atom the greatest of Ironys.

This is such a strange and interesting work. In dealing with such a strong subject, most would rely on images of human injury to make the viewer feel the impact. Instead, we're left with abstract images of the city, covered in this repetitive writing. You're making a much more powerful statement here than just trying to make us feel a historical injury. Is this a critique? Very thought provoking.

This is amazing. Everyone should look at this. What you did with the text, composition and the combination of images and the choice of colour makes it a very powerful image.
