november 29--14:00 to 15:00 (darkroom)

2:08 pm--in the darkroom, shortly before watching a film on how photojournalists covered the Vietnam war. Here is what I learned--the way Vietnam was covered is nothing like the way this current war is covered. Maybe Iraq wouldn't seem such an abstract thing to most Americans if photojournalists were allowed to document it as it really is, and not be restricted to tightly controlled and sanitized "photo ops". Do you ever wonder why that is?
