Viet Nam Memorial Wall

















To me, this is the most disturbing photograph that I have ever taken. I never realized how disturbing it was until I finished developing it in the darkroom. The first letters that jumped out at me were "son" and then the reflections on the wall took on ghost-like qualities. Maybe it's just my age or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. I'd appreciate your thoughts on it.

    Very powerful photo. Sometimes we see what we did not know we were looking for. The first words I saw were Fran(k)my father-in-laws name.
