The Dead of Antietam

It is a terrible thing to photograph men eating, sleeping, and digging trenches only to later capture their lifeless bodies. This is a lesson I learned well after the battle. I saw more blood on that battlefield than I ever wish to see again, though I know this is not the end.



Today, I brought the atrocity of war to the people. I posted photos taken from the Battle of Antietam on the door of my New York Gallery. The public is astounded at aftermath of this single battle. It is good that they know now the monstrosity that is war. God bless the family and friends of all those fallen and wounded. May they have peace, and may our country soon find peace.
