another photo related update
2 years ago, i saw a photo which i found mesmerising in a small booklet of magnum war photography. It featured a soldier running with the camera in an "over the shoulder" p.o.v. I was instantly struck by it. At that time i was too cheap and thought the price of the book not worth it for only 1 photo i really liked. I have been haunted ever since, and have been trying to find out who the photographer was.
I berated myself for not noting down the photographers name so i could search on google but today is my day of redemption!
I joined the magnum website and did a few searches, my successful search used the keywords "combat running". So therefore i present to you the fruits of my labor...

Woo hoo! Great photo, you can sense the kinetic energy of the moment as well as the tension of being in a life threatening situation. I feel a weight being lifted from my shoulders...heheh. i've been looking for this picture for sooo long! Yay for the internet!

hmmm I feel kinda sorry for you not having a single comment... so I'll give you one for I feel pity for you. ;p
hmmmm what is "the magnum website"? and I agree with you on the photo. It's definitely a killer shot.
