• First stanza discusses the nature of photography and how it captures just one moment, not the whole picture

• No specific war zone is mentioned, which highlights that this should be a universal experience
• The poem ends with a photograph – the first and last stanzas may mirror the “edges” or the “frame” around a pictures
