From the BBC:  In January 1995 this woman was killed by a Russian bombardment in Minutka Square, Grozny. It was too dangerous to move the bodies that remained where they fell in the extreme cold.

membrane: Sally Mann / The Family and The Land / Source : Gosee / Dans la Membrane ♥ If you see one photography exhibition this year, let it be Sally Mann’s solo show at the Photographers’ Gallery in London and if you buy one (albeit bloody expensive!) art book this year, let it be her What Remains published by Bulfinch. I swear you won’t regret it.

amethystdeceivers: (via kameradschaft) The first person who can find the inherent visual connection between this photograph and the one posted before will win something I bought at Spitalfields today. No, seriously. I’m in a generous mood. You have 15 minutes to submit your answer here. Also, is it just me or is there a creepy small black-haired doll’s head with a black eye peeking out of the right half of the body - just below the white sleeve around the shoulder area?! o_O
