RedditPHOTO NATION DEBUT
Harpswell, Me.
The photographs by Eugene Richards prove the old adage that a picture is worth 1,000 words ["War Is Personal," March 27]. His poignant text, in under 1,000 words, served to heighten the impact of his soul-searing photographs. These few photos jarred me as no bombed-out car or rows of sheet-draped bodies in Iraq could. Too bad the mainstream media don't show more of the 16,000 wounded as they confront their "almost dead" bodies. That kind of photojournalism gets our attention and perhaps would quicken the return of more whole troops!
