I have returned from my reserve duty which was a three day tutoring(by me)the new guys who came to replace the people that came after me.
On the 13th I discovered that the previous night a person I went to school for 4 years got killed in action. He was 24, a platoon leader in the armor corps. He is the youngest of his siblings. He had a girlfriend for six years.His main drive was the ressurection of jewish pride after the holocaust. He wasn’t a friend and I didnt keep in touch but I came to his funeral. I shot some pictures but I did it to distance myself from the scene.I didnt shoot the coffin or the family – I am not detached enough to use them as symbols.I shot the crowd.I dont know about posting the images though.I am not sure it is moral.
I hope the cease fire lasts and not just be used as a time to rearm the Hizbollah as the previous time.UN has a desire to end a conflict as soon as possible without thinking of consequenses and the USA wants to bomb everybody they dont like of the map – if Israel does it for them – even better.
I just want quiet.
Sometimes, the most moral photograph is the one you don’t take.
