Blood Photography Anyone? – by Greg Marinovich



Blood Photography Anyone? – by Greg Marinovich

I heard of yet another death of a journalist in Syria's civil war recently, via a tweet featuring a surreal image: a pair of bloodied cameras on a rough wood table, along with pita bread, a plastic water bottle-top and a container of what might be hummus.

This symbolic image of a war photographer's death was perhaps inspired by memories of photographs from previous eras, such as the fallen soldier's helmet atop his rifle marking a grave in an otherwise unremarkable field in an unexceptional corner of a remote land.
