What I was struck with most about the site were the stark images and the lack of text. I also liked how the reader had to keep clicking to find out what was going to happen next. I felt like I was participating in the drama that was unfolding in front of me, and that served to keep me guessing what was going to happen next.

By keeping writing to a minimum and relying on fuzzy black and white pictures, the author left a lot of interpretation of the site to the reader. I had my friend look at one of the pictures on the site with me so I could get his feedback on what he interpreted it as. I thought it was 3 or 4 men with their backs to each other with a helicopter flying overhead. He thought that it was 3 or 4 men carrying a coffin through a cemetery, and that the object in the distance was a gravestone with a cross. It reminded me of a Roscharch ink blot, where the interpretation of the object is different for each individual.
