Gaza-War Photographs

After reading the article and interview I came across thinking that some of the photographs might be staged, Hick’s has spent 10 days covering the fighting and aftermath in Gaza City but the photos that I saw was majority the aftermath. In my opinion if there was a photograph of missiles in the sky that would be more convincing, not saying that everything was staged. But I’m just curious, why were there no pictures from Gaza showing the launching of attacks on Israel? With hundreds of missiles being launched every day, there should have been a possibility for “being in the right place at the right time.” Yet, we can clearly only see the aftermath of getting bombed in Gaza City how all the buildings are destroyed and people looking devastated. Maybe the problem is the limitations of photography, which only can show us what is in the frame for a fraction of a second. But photos of bombed buildings, of cowering civilians, and, for that matter, of the bodies of dead children, only tell a tiny part of this unbelievably complex story. In conclusion Mr.Hicks courage should be well respected, going to a country during a war time, putting your life at risk everyday to capture photographs of war should be well recognized and respected.
