These photos are very compelling! The first image makes me want know more. Why is the nurse there, what is happening to this young woman that gives her the need of a nurse? Why is she crossing her fingers? What is her hope other than the pain to go away? Not the pain of the IV but the pain of life. The second image shows such jubilation that it just makes me smile. I need that today. Photojournalism is most definitely an art unto itself! I mean yes every pictures is worth 1000 words, but to get the shot that says the right words and in the right way. The photographer that can capture that... That is a true artist. Magick Michael aka zhounder
