A most magnificent thing

A neighbor, just a few doors down, has placed a television set in his front, first floor window facing outward, toward the sidewalk. It plays a continuous tape loop of a neighborhood bombing in Baghdad, over and over...

The television is exactly the width of the window, and the point of view of the image is from the inside of a home or business, so as you turn to look it appears as though you are the one indoors watching the horror unfold before your eyes, out your window, on your street, in your city.

Brilliant.

Whoever you are in Brooklyn, New York... you fucking rock. You made me cry. Thank you.

Oh, and by the way; people were watching.
