even after 20 years, the battle in chernobyl against radiation still goes on...

i'm awed at the courage the liquidators had even knowing that their live's were at stake...

imagine, going up onto a roof to shovel off radioactive pieces and only being able to stay up there for 45 seconds! more than that could become lethal.

the deformities in the embryos after intoxication and contamination are just horrible, yet the government tries to cover up as much as they could, hiding the truth from the public.

however, i thank God for letting it happened. it was because of chernobyl, 2700 nuclear missles planned for the US were destroyed. i thank God tt this people spared a thought for their enemies. each missile could do 100x the effect of chernobyl.

watching at the documentary and looking at the photos, i am suddenly reminded of what corinne told me about capturing the essence of people in pictures. i suddenly saw what she meant. it kind of inspired me to start learning about this "capturing of the essence". i think it's something really beautiful, especially being able to do such a thing.

just like the photographer who took this year's pictures for SAJC and my school. as i looked through his photos, MAN! he's sooo GOOD! i couldn't see what he was planning in his head but when the pictures are input into the computer, i saw how beautiful they were, what more if we were models knowing how to pose. it'll be PERFECT!
