RESTREPO is a must see feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. Once you’ve seen the film, check out ‘War’ by Sebastian Junger and ‘Infidel’ by Tim Hetherington.
Also of interest is Tim Hetherington’s Sleeping Soldiers and Diary (2010)
In 2010 I finally tracked down relatively affordable copies of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s landmark books ‘The Decisive Moment’ and ‘Les Européens’. (At left is a photograph of my copy of ‘The Decisive Moment’, fragile, yet treasured). A friend of mine, photographer Brad Rimmer, emailed me a 1953 review of the book revived on American Suburb X.
The original review was published in Image Magazine, Journal of Photography of the George Eastman House, April, 1953.
A couple of excellent reviews of the first of a series of books – WAR: A °SOUTH Collection #1
