Wish that you had taken time to give an about. The picture tells a story but would be more powerful with some background to go with it. I survived Viet Nam but still wonder what War ever solved man's problems without creating more collateral damage and suffering. Is this the weekend memorial? Just needed some information for the journalistic point of view. Be well, Stan

Thank you Stan for writing your thoughtful comment.
I am spending some week ends at Santa Monica war memorial where they erect a site with crosses at the beach on every Sunday. This is volunteered by war veterans and a majority of them are Vietnam War veterans like you, who are working for peace. I also sincerely believe an about is very essential for journalistic shots, but I always wonder where to start…
As I am spending more time there to get myself accustomed with the ambience, I am getting more attracted to it. A lot of people visit the memorial site and anyone is bound to be moved by the experience before their eyes. There are too many people who are affected by it. So far I did not get to know their individual experience as I feel very nervous to initiate a discussion about it, unless they start the talking.
This particular shot was taken at Santa Barbara on the Memorial Day week end, while a peace activist was describing the consequences of war with facts and figures. It’s simply overwhelming.

This concept is known as a 'Photo Essay'. Very good. Finish it, and then show it to the world !
Congrats, Bhabesh.
