Saddam Hussein on Eid ul-Adha

Again people dancing. This time shiite around the body of (sunni) Saddam Hussein who has been hanged today, ON ANOTHER RELIGIOUS DAY. Here in the Netherlands it is the 30th of december, also known as the first day of the Muslim sacrifice festival EID AL-ADHA, which is all about forgiving.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Adha ).

So... announcement on Christmas Day, hanging on Eid al-Adha.
So... far from humanity again.

Btw: do you think Saddams "symbolic sacrifice” on a religious day when Muslims slaughter animals will make things worse?

Btw: What was Bush doing during this word event? Something as spectacular as talking to kids in school? I can't believe it's true, but I've read somewhere: "According to government spokesman Scott Stanzel, the execution happened at 10:00pm local time in Texas where Bush already slept at his ranch in Crawford. The president had been informed about the time of the execution by his security adviser Steven Hadley but prefered to end his day prior the event."

Saddam Hussein on Christmas Day

I'm flabbergasted and mad. Here in the Netherlands Christmas is celebrated two days. I was watching a feel good movie on the BBC after Sissi and it all worked great together. I was even dancing after the last movie. Yes, you can be human, look strange to others but be powerfull, yourself and still be a sweet person. I loved this Christmas thought.

Then the (English time) 8 o'clock news started and I found out that TODAY, the second day of CHRISTMAS, Saddam Hussein (yes, the the bastard) heard he will be HANGED in 30 days. So far for humanity. Shame on this.

2007 B&W Single Image Award

I thought we all took this picture


B&W, a paper magazine for collectors of fine photography just released her FEBRUARY 2007 issue. It's a special that features the winners of the yearly B&W Single Image Contest.

I was suprised by the winning photos. But not in a positiv way. Especially the choice of the golden award winner in the category pattern / texture raised questions.

I really like the photo, but... not much more than I liked mine when I took about the same picture a while back.
Doesn't every photographer have a simular picture in his archieves?
