View On Black
A group of schoolchildren listening to a sound and light show at Manchester's Imperial War Museum using historic archive photos which tries to explain, as best it can in language they can understand, the terrible consequences of war.
I found the images extremely moving but I was glad that my own children were not with me.
I did wonder afterward whether the placement of the projector recess in relation to the 'long dead' girl's forehead was a deliberate decision by the museum curators or was it just one of life's bizarre coincidences?
(this photo was taken using a small compact digicam at 1600iso- the room was so dark that I couldn't see the camera controls, neither did I have a tripod)
