WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN AMMAN


I was commissioned recently to take a series of photos for the Amman Symphony Orchestra. It's a big job and involved scouting out five separate shooting locations around the city. One place I selected was the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts. The shoot required that I move the piece of art featured above. I had seen it many times before and never really paid much attention to it. In the process of moving it I caught a glimpse of the inscription on the side and finally got the joke. Unfortunately for us Americans, I don't even think we found slingshots in Iraq. Perhaps displaying just the rock with the same inscription would be more provocative.
