Karr got some serious media attention. Like, Time Magazine serious (okay, I know that's actually synonymous with un-serious in these bloggin' days, but hey!). Not to mention the amazing media hulabalu in Thailand and the states back in August 2006 (one year after the Holloway frenzy/Sheehan protest reached their respective peaks... No coincidence!).This picture is the most real emblem of the story, the way Karr's flaccid body lies back in the comforting grip of the Thai authorities, it is a beautiful embodiment of this poor man's fate in the eyes of our all-fondling media. Look at this next image in the same light:Notice how the bulletproof glass' partition divides Karr's face. Of all the images, was the one where our hero's visage is divided necessary? No, far better to go with something like this, something that contains the image of our truth in its full vitality:This rail-thin, blue-shirted man is each of us. All fall under the encapsulating seizure of the lens.
