bombs and blood

I've been reading Stu Hughes blog, he has some powerful images and thoughts on his site. I was particularly struck by the image of the discarded canon camera, with its gleaming lens barrel covered in drips of blood from the reporters who were killed and injured in the hotel in Baghdad. The shiny cream barrel is normally an object of desire, here it is relegated to a simple contrast to the blood red.
Recently he has been talking about the hyping of cluster bombs (of which I'm a bit guilty) and how this distracts from the real issue of un-exploded ordnance (uxo) and mines. More pictures of UXO and the results.
He has a separate weekly diary with the BBC too. Stu is also closely involved with Mine Action Group, who actually clear mines worldwide, they are keen for donations to support their work. I think it is a great cause to give too, it'll go on the Campaigns section of this blog tomorrow.
