Going back to the concept behind the first image I looked into, the one currently displayed is also from the African civil war in Biafra, Nigeria. In comparison to that of the first photograph, this one looks into the other side of the war and how they were not the ones struggling like the war camp civilians.
This shows a Nigerian carrying Rocket-Launcher ammo on his head, as a result of the violence that was taking place. Whilst obviously not really looking at the brutality itself, this photograph again speaks on its own in showing the shocking ways in which the innocent community of war live and how they are affected and even pushed into living the way they wouldn’t normally want to. Through looking into this specific concept, I feel I’ve learnt and even covered, to a degree, the affects war has on the civilians of that particular place, through researching into Don McCullin’s desensitised war documentation.
