Philip Poupin

I was thinking about the photo of Willie Apiata VC in Kabul, Afghanistan. Everyone seems to have an opinion over whether or not it should have been published and if John Key did the right thing etc...

All I really feel permitted to say is boy, that photographer (Philip Poupin) can take a mean shot. All of these are from Afghanistan:

In his own words "I, as everyone, need to remember to behave better the day after. Because we all have a tendency to forget, I try to make people remember by showing them photographies." So instead of trying to put down in words the immensity of the War in Afghanistan I'm just going to pass on the pictures. Is that okay?

  2. I haven't seen it yet! But I really want to. None of the bigger movie theatres have been showing it, still that's no excuse.
