For this presentation I chose to take a look at the work of Sir Donald McCullin, and English photographer famous for his black and white, wartime and urban strife photography. Much of McCullin's work is ethically and morally evaluative, demonstrating the physical and psychological impacts that come with war and conflict. The first two photos I covered were taken during the Battle of Hue in 1968 during Vietnam war. They show both the active conflict and destruction along with the toll these events take on the soldiers involved. McCullin's work truly forces you to think about whether these conflicts are worth the destruction they cause. The third photo was that of a road leading to Somme, France, the location of one of the bloodiest battles in the first World War. The photo contrasts the first two as it doesn't show any active conflict, but instead a peaceful countryside. It is a reminder that some scars are not physical. There is a sense of unease created by the bleakness of the black and white photo. In a way the battle that took place could still be raging just over the next hill.
