Couldn't sleep, woke up at 4:30, started thinking about the light at dawn. Girlfriend woke up and we both went out to the Crosses. I've been thinking about the best light to shoot for awhile and this is it.

It is a moving image with the dawning day beginning to illuminate the mystery of the human process of memorial, loss, sacrifice and mourning. If we were really in Iraq for anything other than to steal their resources, terrorize everyone into submission to our imperialism and to politically dominate, humiliate and kill, then I would also add the emotion of "hope". Unfortunately, because we are the primary terrorists, the imperialists, the thieves and murderers in this great bloodbath I can't feel the sense of hope that I would dearly love to feel, but find it difficult. Still, if these crosses represent hope it is that remembering is a sign of hope. It is just that we do not ever learn, as we should have in Vietnam, that occupying a strange land with our guns and bombs and a few stupid, puny ideas and with our great arrogance and hatred for others we will only create a colonial occupation doomed to failure even in its own terms.annette steens 17 Jul 2007
