A photograph I Like

A picture I like (I really don't like pictures very much, I might get to find a photograph to be nice or pleasant, aesthetically I mean, but it will never get to provoke me in any way bigger than that) is the picture of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's ex-president-heroic figure.

I'm cheating, because it's not a particular picture of him that I like, it's rather the photographied as such, albeit his many concrete photographied forms (angles, lights, gestures, scenarios, etc.). What I like about him, about this man as the 'photographied' content of reality, is something of a political courage his images inspires on me, a courage for being able to take the loser's side, in the wider sense of the term -one friend of mine once told the definition that facism consists in taking always the winner's side.

And that's a picture or a picture's content I might say I like (I had to exaggerate my sentiments though, but just a little)
