Photographer Sarah Pickering's explosion series are about more than just little boy fun...
Via the Aperture Foundation:
"Sarah Pickering identifies England's entry into the war in Iraq as the inspiration for her Explosion series. Pickering photographed the tactical use of controlled explosions used by the British military to add realistic stress to training exercises. The images suggest the violence of combat while altering traditions of landscape photography reaffirming the 'power of the photograph to extract something and represent it as well.'"
