7/28/03: Most dangerous places


This image, taken by Susan Meisalas in Nicaragua in 1978, has been stuck in my head since seeing it at the Catherine Edelman Gallery this afternoon. In the enlarged print, the human remains seem to figure less prominently, more a grisly little punctum on a tense landscape. I'm always naively wondering why the most dangerous places in the world are also the most beautiful.


Meisalas comments on the image. See also this profile Meisalas on the ethics of photographing war.
