Before me, I have a photograph. It is banal, simple and not very well composed. A man stands in profile, his arms at his sides and head trained towards the right of the frame. A poncho, creased and wrinkled, covers his body, and his head clean-shaven but worn peers through the top. He wears a side cap. The man is set against a dark background, the color of which is unknown for the photograph is black and white.
Here is an American service member in Okinawa in 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War. And in this photograph, seen in the work of Shomei Tomatsu on American bases in postwar Japan, the man is gazed upon: hulking, sad, foreign. He looks beyond the frame to something unseen and unknown to us. What is caught in his sights? It is other men, of course, uniformed and American. But it is also Okinawa.

Of course, we want to believe that we, human beings, are capable of change and that even those who have fatal flaws are not past any kind of redemption. But more often than not, change is not an easy thing to do. It never is.
