Mosaic

I guess it would depend upon the context in which the mosaic is viewed.

It seems manipulative, and in a way, it very obviously is, simply by way of the effort gone into it. I don't like things that conjure images and feelings, particularly political ones, without using words. I realize that imagery and subconscious connotations and how it affects viewers emotionally are a combined cornerstone for the practices of politicians and a great number of marketers within the business of America, but I've never quite shaken the opinion that all that shit is nothing but yellow journalistic practice, and just because everyone else is doing it, never makes it right. I think it is exploitive because there is no indication that any of the soldiers whose photos are used would support the inherent message being presented, and of course, there's no indication because there's no explanation, just the photo, as noted.

In clicking on the link to What is it Today, I see that the blogger rec'd it via email, which seems quite the appropriate forum.
