Hi David Well .. I shall risk a firm slap on the wrist from the list mom which I know I'll be getting. I apologise in advance, but feel I must respond. There is also the risk that some on this list might feel offended ... I do have an objection to the posting of this. I hope that I can adequately express myself. 9/11 was absolutely horrific, no doubt about that whatsoever, as this site visually shows us 'the horror, the horror'. Yet we are constantly reminded of 9/11 almost every time we encounter anything and everything American. Which in itself is not offensive, but it is when it is used to justify other equally horrific actions around the world committed by the US in its so-called 'war against terrorism', where thousands of innocents are indiscriminately killed, countries destroyed, etc. The site you posted states: "THIS is what our nation is responding to. Please remember that in the difficult times ahead" Difficult for whom I wonder? 'Nuff said! Please let's keep this site free from such issues and stick to the world of digital image-making WITHOUT any political angles.
