“blood is spattered high onto the ceiling of a central bosnian farmhouse. an elderly married couple had been sprayed at point blank range with high velocity machine gun fire in a grisly execution by bosnian serb forces in the village of uzdol, bosnia. their heads exploded instantly, spraying arterial blood onto the walls. the white fragments at the bottom left of the photograph are the shattered remains of the old couples skulls. although i was present when the bodies of the old couple were still lying on the bed, the image was far too horrific for anyone to publish and also, in my mind, quite unnecessary to photograph. however as i turned and was about to leave with the british united nations soldiers who had the awful task of cleaning up this ungodly horror, one of the young soldiers carrying the remains and i looked back at the wall and i knew i had the shot.”
