I think that one has to cover these moments to capture the whole. But our times are driven towards this CNN-mentality: if there aren't guns going off live and dead bodies fallen down the place isn't really existing. The intensity of light and colors in the south makes me wonder if color is the only way to capture the moods. Certainly it can be done in a very interesting way like in Webb's work. Kari
