That 1963 photograph.... shudder

I may not believe in the supernatural, but I sure do believe in the power of human spirituality. That Buddhist monk is able to just sit there while he burns alive in protest. That is truly incredible.

The one that always makes me cringe is 1968's. All three expressions in the photograph are so telling. I feel a tremendous amount of sympathy for this (and the other) photographer.
