Artists: witnesses with conscience, Part II (more art)

The moving beauty of a photographer's invitation can change the way we think. Interpretation is often left spaciously available for the viewer. This is the power of artful picture-taking. I saw some amazing photos at a couple of sites and wanted to share them with you.
I'm not able to paste the photos from some of the slide shows, with the right-click disabled on the sites. But the links take you to the very stunning visuals. I was able to get one of the paintings featured in a blog post.
I've referenced two specific
shows :
Most recent : 1. FRONT LENS : Iraq and Afghanistan (photos), and
Less recent: 2. Gee Vaucher, drawings and paintings show in the Bay Area (April-May, 2008).
Details about each show are available at each link. Hope you enjoy looking. I found the photos particularly riveting.
Short and quick as I'm late for work. Art is always worth it to me, though.
