I suppose you’re right, the Falling Man picture is something to uncomfortable for a lot of people to deal with, for me personally, I want to see the picture, not dwell on it but see and wonder what thoughts were running through his mind and praying I’m never in that situation.
Yes, precisely so. Great art, including photography, offers an opportunity for introspection. Falling Man is especially successful at drawing the viewer into his decision. I consider it a great photo of a profoundly difficult circumstance.
