It's photos like this...

That hit me hard.
Makes me wonder about the photographer
What made them stop and capture this, from this angle
Become a voyeur and share it with us
The exchange of images is instant
But is determined by circumstance
technology
time
No one is exempt from becoming a media icon
Representing something
Good or bad
You have no choice

And here's where it feels so wrong
I want to see it all
But the photographer in the shot
Makes me want to yell out to him to help
I'm safe on this side
As the viewer
Exempt

You are not exempt
