EDITORS COMMENTS
Thou shall not kill, The Ten Commandments, c20th century. This powerful print captures the essence of a timeless moral code - 'Thou shalt not kill'. Taken in Frankfurt, West Germany during the 20th century, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of peace and compassion in our lives. In this image, we see a male figure holding a weapon, symbolizing the potential for violence and conflict that exists within humanity. However, his hand is frozen mid-action, suggesting hesitation or contemplation about the consequences of his actions. The vibrant colors add depth to the composition and draw attention to the significance of this message. Religion plays an integral role in shaping societies around the world, and this photograph reflects its influence on German culture at that time. It highlights how faith can guide individuals towards righteousness and encourage them to uphold ethical values. The juxtaposition between religion and warfare depicted here invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs regarding violence and its place in society. It serves as both an artifact from history and a metaphorical representation of human nature's struggle with morality. This studio shot by CM Dixon offers us a glimpse into an era marked by conflicts such as World War II but also reminds us that even amidst chaos there are guiding principles worth upholding. Let this thought-provoking image inspire us all to strive for peace in our own lives.
