I'm sure your terra cotta warrior thought it was an honorable death!

You're going to laugh at me a little bit, but I honestly find this thought comforting. It's not an overstatement to suggest that I over-anthropomorphize my inanimate objects. I really hope he did find it an honorable death.

Love the link--thanks for that. Wonderful photography and just a very cool project. It doesn't make light of this at all.
