Horst Faas update
You may have already heard but legendary AP photojournalist, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and all-round great guy Horst Faas, 72, sadly fell ill whilst in Vietnam for the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam war and is currently paralysed from the chest down. If you don’t know him, Newseum has interesting audio interviews with him on the subject of combat photography here. The U.S. National Press Photographers Association has an article containing a recent email from Horst in which he says he is in positive spirits and plans to continue his work on various book and exhibition projects when he returns from hospital in Bangkok to Bavaria. My thoughts and best wishes for a full recovery go out to a unique and humble man.
