A
Reading Passage from 'War Photographer'
In his darkroom, he is finally alone with his images, which he swiftly arranges on the table. The photographs are of war zones, where chaos and suffering unfold before his eyes. He recalls the moment he captured a young soldier under the blazing sun, the tears on a child's face amidst rubble, and the aftermath of a fierce battle. The images are stark, full of pain and loss, yet he knows they must be shared with the world. As he develops each photograph, he ponders the emotional weight carried within each frame. Outside, the world continues unaware, wrapped up in their daily routines, while he remains haunted by the silent stories he has captured. The contrast between the calm of the darkroom and the chaos of the images within is striking, revealing the inner conflict of the photographer — his duty to show truth against the emotional toll it takes on him.
