Summary: This is the first book by Moises Saman, a young and talented photographer with the rare capacity to capture, in an instant, a powerful composition with great artistic sensibility. He has been honored with an award for general news in the prestigious 2003 World Press Photo competition, among other accolades. The lens of Saman (b. 1974), photographer for New York Newsday, shows us war for what it truly is: pain, destruction, darkness. His pictures are far from the reality that the media now dispenses to us in terms of a giant movie projection; a hyper-technical video-game, a glossy and rigged TV production. Through Saman's photography we see again the terrifying purport of war, the truth of what it means to Live with conflict. Palestine. Afghanistan. Iraq. Three fronts torn apart by the non-stop beat of war. Iraq, blackened by the smoke of bomb raids. The harrowing cohabitation with war in Palestine. The dust and silence of a devastated Afghanistan. This personal testimony transforms Moises Saman into a Witness to Man's Destruction.
