Talking Photography (2)

And here, in a second installment at The Guardian is a series of snippets from war photographers, each discussing a particular shot. I find commentary about the egotistical nature of such photographers uncharitable and reflecting more on the critic than on the photographer. These people place themselves in harms way to bring home to us - living safe, at a distance, typically oblivious - some sense of the violent world.
