I think that photography is my preferred form of art for a few reasons. 1) I think I'm actually decent at it. 2) More importantly, pictures can really move me emotionally. There was a beautiful anti-war exhibit when I was in Paris 3 years ago and I just walked around crying at every picture I saw. I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw this picture that was posted in the NYTimes. I hate war...

I will try to keep politics out of my blogosphere, but I will just say that I am very anti-war, and consider myself a pacifist to the core. This image presents one of the many reasons why I think people killing other people is really, really dumb.
