This image is by Adam Nadel, a photojournalist. whose projects Portraits of Noncombatants and Rwanda Testimonies are both excellent and utterly compelling work. I relate to his work because his hope is to connect to the viewer and to create an opportunity for the public to better comprehend the effects of the environment they live in. Here is child a child that has seen the effects of war.
This is an image that i don't necessarily like, by David Smith. Smith's work Arecibo is a project that combines appropriated Internet imagery with an exploration into the history of humanity and evolution of civilisation. Using naturally occurring fallout colours from the creation of Google Maps, Smith uses thousands of jpegs to construct an image of a significant period in human history. I understand the purpose behind the work but don't enjoy the look of the work. This person to me is an artist and not a photographer since it didn't take the original images.
