Tim Hetherington






we have lost
a remarkable
doc. filmmaker




Tim Hetherington
was killed in libya
yesterday



I have been inspired
and moved by Tim's work
and determination to shed
light into the complex lives
of the soldiers at war.

hondros
of getty images and of
the award-winning image
"the exultant commander"
has also passed away from
his severe head wounds
in misurata, libya.



his life behind
the lens:





the loss of these
two journalists really
hits home.



my thoughts
are with all those
risking their lives
to tell the story
as it is.

This is very sad. If you have some spare time i recommend watching this video he put together back in 2010.  Pretty much sums up what these warriors go through on a daily basis.

Still shocked. Met Tim over a year ago at an event - a really passionate guy with a dry sense of humour. RIP

These photojournalist risk their lives everyday to make sure we know what happening in our ever changing world.

A very sad day indeed.

'Creeping through the outpost came Tim, camera in hand, grabbing photographs of the soldiers as they slept. "You never see them like this," he said to me later. "They always look so tough, but when they're asleep they like little boys. They look the way their mothers probably remember them."
