Not neccersarily pictures of war but certainly compassionate fine pictures. Jem - -----Original Message----- From: George Lottermoser [SMTP:imagist@concentric.net] Concerned photography has altered my consciousness and behavior since I first encountered it at age 14, back in 1960. I believe myself a better informed person having seen this visual evidence as well as having read about man's inhumanity to man. I also believe that it has had similar effects on my daughter and others I've known who have taken an interest in the material. I'm sure that some have moved to action and others have not. But the material has value both as history and propoganda. For my own sanity I must believe that sooner or later a future generation will get the point, whether the photographers, film makers and writers can reach saint hood or not. George
