Life after Life Photo

Photographer’s Note

On the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Day many veterans, handicapped veterans as well as families of the falen US soldiers visited the Washington D.C. Memorial. It was an extremely strong experience, when a blind veteran did search by his fingers for the name of his fallen friend, when a dad with kids did show them the name of their fallen granfather, when handicapped veterans presented agent orange as the cause for their injuries. I have never seen such a sympathy with those who have fallen for their country, and that all so many years after. It was for me a extraordinary deep and very strong experience I will never forget.

Hi Michael!

Your photos are great. This one tells a sad story. You have managed to make a very touching photo. The bouqet is well placed and the reflection of visitors against all the names is brilliant.

Thanks for sharing

Chris

Very nice shot! I've seen quite a few photos of this memorial, but never one like this. The reflection of the people in the wall of names is very poignant, as well as beautiful. I like your creativity.

Le monde réel qui se reflète sur le monde des morts...Bel effet!

Excellent shot. The angle is perfect for capturing the reflection of the man walking and flowers really catch your eye.
Very Nice. Merry Christmas.
