Sometimes life offers such situations - where we get to focus on the truth...
ReplyDeleteAnd then we find-
Truth is stranger than fiction...
So much said in a few words!
Great picture of Lee Miller. I had never seen such a wee camera... And the second image, viewed as I read your words, captures a great part of this woman's life. Some people are touched by terrible things...
ReplyDeleteThese photographs speak volumes. A dark time.

ReplyDeleteLet's hope there's always someone to bring such things to light, shine the light into that darkness, so it can be stopped.

Let's raise a glass to those willing to look into the dark
ReplyDeleteNow I am off to learn more about Lee Miller. That is what your poem did for me. For that, I tha you.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a woman who understood darkness without being consumed by it ... As for America , maybe it has stared into the Abyss for too long ?
ReplyDeleteNo camera too small to capture the truth. The naked eye version, sadly last the longest.
ReplyDeleteShe allowed us to look into the dark. Good piece.
