No Photo Opportunity creates both a toy theater, and a shadow theater screen based rendition of action reflecting the censorship of images from Iraq.

The sculpture shows an aircraft on a tarmac with a procession of tanks being unloaded. Viewers interact with the work by pressing the camera shutter button, at which point a hand pops up in front of the camera lens and a procession of coffins are loaded onto the plane.

This piece is a sister work to "Photo Opportunity".
