Death, destruction, people with weapons, people who got hit by weapons, weeping, wailing, screaming... This exhibit comes to Toronto each year, too, but I've stopped going. It's just too depressing. I'd like a ~bit~ of "uplifting" - this stuff just hits me in the head like a sledgehammer. Individually or in small doses I can put up with and appreciate these, but at the exhibit, photo after photo, it's just a bit much for me. Terrific photos, though.
