The Photograph of the Contemporary Art Ch. 6-8

I do like the fact that historical content being photographed as an aftermath. Usually the most interesting parts are of the conflict itself but to see the aftermath is interesting. Sometimes the general public may lose interest in it and they won’t even care about the aftermath. The photographs that really stood out to me were Valley and Destroyed Radio Installations, Kabul. The perfect images for an aftermath of a war/destruction and clearly depict that something happened there. All of it is just abandoned. Either the photographer was the only one there in a long time or it was intentionally left like that for people to see. Even the old Artillery Shells make some sort of impact. Although they are just metal those shells still represent something long forgotten and the sense of not looking back. Maybe if the battle went in favor of the British then possibly the shells could have been picked up but it seems like things like those aren't really meant to be thought of after the fighting is over.
