I am creating this post to show the photography of one of the artist who was chosen for this exhibition Louie Palu I have known of this work since 2007 and been deeply moved by it as time as past.I like them because there is no romantic point of view. Louie was embedded and the images were created at the end of exhausting tours.War effects us all. These are mostly young men who go out.

There will be a second post.If you live in the New York area or will be visiting please take some time to see this exhibition .The Brooklyn Museum can be reach by public transportation
