Ask most people who have seen the images about the stories behind them.  Perhaps
one in a thousand will be able to say something about the circumstances.  Eddie
Adams explanation of his photo of that execution in Vietnam never travelled one
millionth as far as the photo itself.

What do you mean by "serious" documentary work?  (Not a flame, just a question.)

The documentation I provide on my site is admittedly mundane in the extreme, but
it fulfills its purpose.  I did get some sneaky shots today, but none of them is
going to win a prize.
