Mathew Brady/NARA, via The Atlantic
The Vietnam War is often credited as the first conflict that was actually brought into the homes of American civilians. Graphic television reports, blooding images on black-and-white televisions…a lot has changed about the way we cover the war.
But this series in The Atlantic captured my attention and pointed it to the first American war where photographic images were even captured. Made me realize how, even though photography has changed, and war has changed, the images of war haven’t really changed at all.
Click through the photo tabs above and compare these photos–from the Library of Congress and the National Archives and Record Administration–of the Civil War to the photos you see everywhere in modern conflicts, in the Middle East, for example. The clothing is different, the technical details might have changed, but besides those peripherals, the photographs of war are fundamentally the same.
Erie as all hell. Is this a commentary on our human approach to photographing conflict? or is this a commentary on war? Neither or both?

After I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Many thanks!
It is easy to use and it comes with different categories of jokes, from short jokes,
to long jokes, and even YO MOMMA jokes, that would make you
laugh. There’s also some great video on Kenny
