Books: Frontline by David Loyn

I'm currently reading Frontline, which is the true story of the British mavericks who changed the face of war reporting. So far, it's mostly on how a handful of British eccentric public school graduates (is that tautological?) decided to report on the conflict in Afghanistan, bending all rules and conventions.

A fascinating read, not well written by any means...a bit anecdotal but a must for anyone interested in war reporting and conflict photojournalism.

It's found in hardback here in the US, but was available in paperback in the UK.

Call Me KIJU

Here are impromptu street portraits of Kiju on Crosby Street in Soho, NYC. Kiju is an alternative rock performer.
