Cambodia-Jay Ullal Stern 1979


In this image you can see thousands of skulls and bones that have been dumped as if the dead people didn’t mean anything to anyone as how they were treated. You can see that the skull and bones are all in different order. The skulls are in a pile at the front, when you look towards the back there is a mixture of bones and skulls. The foreground is thrown out of focus as you cannot see the background in the image. You can tell that the image is cropped to show the main focus of the bones. This image could have been taken from a wide angle and then cropped, to the right focus of the image. This image shows an untold story behind it as what has happened. It shows that the bodies have been decomposing away and there has not been a proper burial service. There is no source of light as the image shows that the lighting was direct from the sun. This image is a hint out to the people of the Government and people in power, what they are capable of doing to innocent people.
