Young Lebanese drive through devastated neighborhood of South Beirut, 15 August

lady leila brought this chaotic image to my attention.
it is quite a photograph of contradictions.
i guess that's why it won the award.
i don't know if i feel as strongly about it as this guy.
but i definetely agree that:

"It's a picture you can keep looking at. It has the complexity and contradiction of real life, amidst chaos. This photograph makes you look beyond the obvious."

(Michele McNally)

and yep, it does remind me of rebel without a cause.

i think i like it.
