I know I should probably wait a while till I post this, let the hype cool down with the whole Cool Kids thing (pun not intended but kept in), but what I'm about to share is so serious and demands your attention I think that people like Missy La and Vezzy and anyone else with an interest in the real world, not the one where you judge people on how hypebeast they are, will appreciate and it may even interest people who have no clue.I've known about this Photojournalist for a while he goes by the name of Zoriah (beautiful name). He has been all over the world - Palestine/Iraq/Afghanistan/Kuwait and many more dangerous countries - too many to list.
Award- winning independent Photojournalist Zoriah is currently on tour in Iraq accompanying the US army on patrol. On the 26th June whilst on patrol he stumbled across the aftermath of a suicide bombing. I will not be posting any of the graphic pictures as I think most be will be offended and most would find difficult to look through and if you are really interested you will visit his website below.
He brings an uncomfortable beauty to his work without taking away any of the severity or the reality of it. And I bet all those 'photographers' out there will realise what photography is.
I do hope you all become fans and make a donation as we need independent photojournalist like him.Please visit http://www.zoriah.com/ and http://www.zoriah.net/And the rest of the pictures and blog from the suicide bombings:http://www.zoriah.net/blog/suicide-bombing-in-anbar-.html?cid=120741122#comments
He also takes on photojournalism students and takes them to places like Lebanon but not to Iraq or Palestine as it's too dangerous - Vezzy/Missy La fancy a trip?
Truly peace in the Middle East
