they know who they are - I guess that's the point for them.
Was teaching today about children's rights - their right to a face, family and future (as in YWAM's orphansknowmore) ... and this photo brought it home to me ... faceless and unknown. Sigh.
How about taking the point-of-view of the crouching man shooting the photo of his family rather than buying into the strange POV of the photo itself? I see five individual women of varying sizes & poses & a man who cares very much about who they are.
The photo doesn't change my mind about burkas, but it reminds me that anonymity is not one of my objections. & Grace, posting it without comment does not absolve you of editorial reponsibility. Your reader's comments are sad, as if they are all afraid to into the picture & find the humanity there.
