Third thread - of photos I did not take myself, thank God. Inside the buildings, now.
I have the least of those types of shots. I think it was easier for my friend to overcome his sense of invasion by photographing the destruction outside the buildings. Probably less physically dangerous, too.

I am still skirting around my dilemma which is how to handle the last post, which I will do over the weekend, if I do it.
It's about the plight of the children, in many cases more dead than alive, and why the 15 child trauma experts who were so quickly expelled were so needed.

Remember the little girl with the flies in her face?
The woman photographer took about 10 or so shots. The flies were over her eyes, on her mouth, in her ears, and she simply looked bewildered and detached. In none of the photos did she seem to notice the flies or do the automatic movement of swatting them.
I look at that and realize the traumatizing of that child is complete.
Makes my mind numb, to imagine it, and her future in the middle of the decay and destruction.

So, how do I solve the dilemma?
Write a simple yes, or no, if you want to see the last set. It's the most critical left out part, without it the accounting is incomplete. But that could be perfectly OK, too, maybe better.
You could also PM me your thoughts.
