Dig It.

Oscar nominee Tim Hetherington and acclaimed photojournalist Chris Hondros died Wednesday while chronicling the gritty violence in the war-torn city of Misrata in Libya.

We’re all so saturated by media these days it’s really easy to take combat photographers work for granted. The truth is, there’s nothing granted about any of it. They put their lives on the line to help spread awareness in the hope that the rest of the world will find meaning in the most hostile places on earth. If you’re unfamiliar with Tim Hetherington’s work I highly recommend checking out his documentary Restrepo, it will change you and the way you think about the war in Afghanistan.
