Anyway, I haven't yet given my personal opinion on the photo itself and what it evokes in me (a personal and not objective opinion), but I grant myself the LUXURY of the benefit of the doubt regarding the photographer because I've reflected on the context of the photo based on the phrase "fottuti reporter dal fronte in cerca di gloria sulle carni." This is what I expressed. If you think that an image like this leaves me indifferent... go ahead. (I'm not discussing your horror, Carlo; I hope that's clear.)

ohhh finally it's clear. Cimmi, there’s a big difference between "We commit the worst atrocities, but we feel morally justified because there are these photographs that testify that there is still freedom of information and democracy in our world" and "fucking reporters from the front in search of glory on the flesh and blood of more or less innocent dead." Don’t you agree? bye.

So just for the record (the photographer was on the scene by chance, it was a battlefield at that moment): "I just followed the three of them as they walked towards us, making an occasional picture. When they were close - maybe five feet away - the soldiers stopped and backed away. I saw a man walk into my camera viewfinder from the left. He took a pistol out of his holster and raised it. I had no idea he would shoot. It was common to hold a pistol to the head of prisoners during questioning. So I prepared to make that picture - the threat, the interrogation. But it didn't happen. The man just pulled a pistol out of his holster, raised it to the VC's head and shot him in the temple. I made a picture at the same time.' " Here’s the unpredictability. But of course. Perhaps he would have done better to destroy that image afterward. An image that has gone around the world and, as I've already said, among the few things that accelerated the mobilization against Vietnam. It’s a war photo, damn it, we're not talking about Oliviero Toscani!!!

Carlo, the issue is simple: I believe that photojournalists are journalists in search of truth just like print journalists. Of course, there are those who do it for glory and those who do it for culture. But they are of the same ilk. You, on the other hand – given the strong image – consider them to be opportunists in search of the Photo that will make them famous tout court. I understand the controversy, but we’re not talking about records; we’re talking about a moment of war, the dynamics of which we will never know with exactitude. These are moments when anything can happen, and as enbar explained well, they are mere seconds. It could have happened that the photo was taken three seconds later, and it wouldn’t have been the same. I have respect for this unpredictability. You, however, expect to know what was going through the photographer's mind at that moment (bling bling, dollar signs). And the quote from Apocalypse Now is not so accidental and out of place; I remember a photojournalist in that film Little doubt, Coppola is more objective than you in depicting the figure of the "jackal" photojournalist. Bye.

(enough with this victimism of "unjustly condemned to the pillory," come on? how long has it been since you "left" the site? you bask in this role, that’s just it. Without it, what would you be? But why not bring back the old cpt? the one that could say so much to turn the site upside down, for better or worse? I don't know, you've become... whiny! In short, more than usual...) said with respect, of course, you know that. Bye!

That's the problem, Cpt. You don’t read, but you give your opinion; you don’t want to get into details, yet you still emphasize your point. This attitude of "looking over it, but sharing my opinion anyway" irritates me terribly. There can be no discussion. I might even agree with your point and might be interested in your opinion and discuss it, but not like this, with someone who every time "looks over it"; it’s not possible. And you could bring up interesting things. Bye!

Listen, Cpt, someone who comes here and says "I haven't read the whole discussion, etc." but still comes to make their pointless point honestly drives me crazy. It's an annoying habit of yours, and it comes off as presumptuous. You can talk about the biggest truths in the world, but you nullify them, you make them "presumptuous" like this because you assume you know what you're talking about. I haven't read everything, but I'd like to say that. I didn't follow the conversation, but in my opinion. Just go fuck yourself.

Anyway, this is a major flaw of yours, let me tell you, considering the photojournalist or cameraman on duty as a "worker" at the service of the journalist. It's so true that you even managed to lose the Grazia Neri agency, shame on you > Prosz� czeka�...

what a bore Cpt, what do literary references have to do with it, just a display of culture to make an appearance on Sunday, come on, I'm talking about war movies in general. God, how boring. It's not a forced comparison, considering we're talking about awards. With the Pulitzer you get 10 thousand dollars, you know what a prize that is, while prestige, sure, you gain prestige, but what's wrong with that??????
