Seriously? Want Youtube videos of by far more horrendous stuff? Or videos can be photoshopped too?

Precisely. The Syrian people don’t consider them as human being but rather some form of creatures. What they have done to their own people and what they are capable of doing are beyond anyone’s imagination. I’m almost certain that the actions seen in videos Youtube have not been witnessed anywhere else by any other regime in the recent history.

How come the guy in the flack jacket and red t-shirt is still alive and well? (photo 2, 3, and 4.) Just wondering.

But if you notice, the pictures are progressing in what looks like split seconds.
In the second, third, and fourth photographs, the four men in the
picture have barely even moved! I don’t think it would be nearly as captivating
if the journalist just posted a 2-second video.
And if the cinematographer captured a great video and posted stills of that video depicting how great it was, it wouldn’t be fair at all to say
“they got lucky they shot a good video. all they had to do was press one
button and just stand there.” filmography is a newer (although very
different) form of photography, and it is an art in its own way.

Times have changed Junction 10. Since digital became the standard of modern photography…about 12 or so years ago, the definition of “photography” has evolved. What’s the difference of pushing a button on a camera or a remote triggering device and capturing 10fps or 30fps? It’s all photography my friend. The only reason photographers of the past would have a different outlook is because such technology had yet to surface in their days. It’s a new world now.

Without being specific, I believe the onus is now on for the free press to publish photos and video of the realities of War in all it’s grotesque obscenity. fly post on billboards the horror, show pitiless realities on your websites, denounce your Governments. If people here at home saw the vileness of chidren blown to death then maybe, just maybe there would be greater outrage and volition to cease bloodshed commited in our name, sanctioned by idiots wagging their elbows in Whitehall or Washington. Personally I didn’t think these pictures were particularly good- too glossy. As long as every war is sanitised, in a culture of fantasy killing, where every gun totting creep is a”hero”- we ain’t got no chance. Splatter blood, real blood over every screen, people might start to think and feel more human. These journalists are every bit front line troops as the best commandoes, let’s not kowtow to propaganda. Information is more important than International Relations, Diplomacy, or one or other public school boy striding across the globe- so often they purportrate the crimes that allow the killings to go on.

This is the evolution of the tech in photography. Would you discount any photo taken with a digital high speed camera because it was to easy to hold down the shutter and machine gun off a dozen shots a second and say, That’s not how real photos are taken? Maybe I know people who do. But like it or hate it that’s what the technology allows these days.

True. Belief and atrocities share a bloody history. But belief in change is the first step to creatiing change.
