Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
Early serious contender for photo of the year. Sorry you're not the author, just the hero in this photo 👍
It takes two to tango?
What are we seeing here?
- A member of the press at work in the thick of it
- A member of the press, by definition, exempt from the conflict, NOT being exempted
- A member of the press, subjugated, but resisting still
This is the fight.
Also:
- Placement of gloves matters
Really odd seeing a warzone press photo in the USA.
No, it didn’t. The victims just weren’t white.
