my Darling little Pat,

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 13 October 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

A group of schoolchildren listening to a sound and light show at Manchester's Imperial War Museum using archive photos which tries to explain, as best it can in language they can understand, the terrible consequences of war.

This is a letter from a soldier to his small child as he leaves for war perhaps never to return.

This was designed for children - I have 2 myself but I saw it without them. I found it so sad and moving that I am still thinking about it now

Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.
