I see dead people. On the news. And it sucks.

To the question of video versus still photography, I find stills have a much bigger impact on me. Most recently, I became ill after seeing a photo of severely burned victims (alive and walking) of the Hiroshima bomb at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I did not know that pictures were taken within the first few hours of the explosion. I later read about the photographer. He narrated that he found it incredibly difficult and almost disrespectful to photograph the victims, but felt it was his duty to document. Even then, he did not develop the film until a year later. Nowadays, with digital pictures and the daily media overload, it is hard to imagine such pictures would not be shown right away.

I agree that still photography has more impact.

One of the NY Post photographers who shot a lot of people jumping on 9/11 claims he never even looked at the ground. While there were a lot of photos of people jumping, I never did see any photographs of bodies on the ground.

I can't even imagine the impact of what you saw at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
