Interesting to look through.

not not not for the faint of heart or those easily disheartened, as VII sends their photo-journalists to the hotspots of the globe for famines, wars, sex trades, indian massacres, freedom fights, earthquakes, usa politics (ugly), usa wars, russian wars, mormons, etc etc each journalist has a very short essay and captioned photos.
