I am not sure whether the images will come before the this text or not and so if you find what you see upsetting then I’m sorry.   However, it does raise the valid issue of what is an acceptable image – these in my view are very valid on two levels.  The first I think they are ‘good’ (whatever that might mean) photographs on a technical level.  The second they do record the truth about life for most creatures and I suspect more than a few humans in this world.  It is brutal and can end in a very violent death.   So you takes your pick.  One final thing.  I have censored these images because there are more blood images in the sequence which actually make better photographs but I didn’t feel I wanted to show them – now what does that say about my own sensibilities I wonder?
