A Glimpse Inside Gaza-War Photography Today

Hicks’ photographs show the true nature of war in the rawest form, fatalities, causalities and injuries.  It shows how war can make us less human by hurting the innocent and causing mayhem in your surroundings.  Documentation of war is important in that it reminds us of the wrong we have done and what happens as a result of egos clashing.  But at the same time, as horrible as it sounds, during wartime, some amazing photos can be captured because very rare moments are captured and most of the moments during wartime are candid and offer a sense of realism that is not shown elsewhere.  As for photo editors, I think it is sometimes necessary for them to edit some things out, to hide some stuff that may be too painful for someone to see, but at the same time I don’t think they should edit anything out, just in case the things they edit out might provide closure or answers to questions people ask about the situation on the events that are occurring.
