The Beauty and Power of Photography

“I am the cause, I am the stockpile of chemical toys,
my body is a deadly gadget,

I reach out in love, my hands are guns,

my good intentions are completely lethal.”

– Margaret Atwood (excerpted form “It is Dangerous to Read Newspapers”) 

This quote may be more relevant to my previous post that I keep on fussing with.
