High-res nudawn: Larry Burrows im sorry but this is one of the most beautiful pictures i’ve ever fucking seen.  click through for a larger size. Here’s the thing: I like this picture. It’s amazing, actually. But, somehow, it kind of creeps me out that we’re thinking of this photo in these terms. Because, you know, that’s a person dying there in that picture. And, you know, while it’s got great composition, and looks straight out of some sort of Bosch/Salgado hybrid, still, that could be your father. Or your grandfather. Or mine.
