This woman just killed me...

I was listening to a radio show on France Inter, and the journalist was interviewing a photographer. A woman.

I didn't know about her, about her works, her pics... she had this strange voice that makes you stuck like glue to your radio post.
Her name's Christine Spengler.

She started talking about her photos, the way she hated the war but she had no choice but to witness.
She had to show people.

And this strange voice, full of suffering.

She always refused to take photos of blood and dead bodies. She thinks there are other ways to show the war.

She also talked about her first experience in North Ireland. How she took a picture of children making fun of soldiers in the street.
They shouted to her : "You won't pass through cause we're the kings of the streets !!!" And she just took the picture. Because children provocating soldiers, this was war!


This is the picture.
