I think Hick’s photos are very real and to the point. He believes in taking a picture that will easily explain what’s going on in the war. Accurate captions are very important to him as well, due to the fact that he doesn’t want people to interpret the photo in any other way. I noticed that he was asked a very good question towards the end of the interview. “Does it stay with you?” is what the interviewer asked Hick’s, to my surprise he answered very cleverly. Instead of forgetting he chooses to remember out of respect to the victims who have died. The documentation of war has come a long way. I remember that the Mexican- American war was the first war to be dcoumented photographically. Thanks to Hick’s and many others this method of documenting still continues.
