NPR’s Radiolab Explores the Subject of Graphic War Photographs

NPR’s Radiolab recorded this 30-minute podcast episode titled “Sight Unseen” that explores current issues in conflict photography. We hear war photographer Lynsey Addario share about one particular experience she had with photographing a gravely wounded marine (The images can be see in this slideshow).

“Horrible, difficult, and at times strikingly beautiful, those photos raise some questions: Who should see them, who gets to decide who should see them, and what can pictures like that do, to those of us far away from the horrors war and those of us who are all too close to it?,” Radiolab writes.
