Wow. That picture of the actress killed by a car is a stunner. I'll have to check out his show!

Thank you, Barrett. I enjoyed the read and the photos were very intriguing. I think he treated this very diffuclt subject with great sensitivity.
Here's another thought provoking critique on Snr. Metinides work, this time from Adrian Searle of The Guardian:

Film is the other way
Barrett, nice link.. kind of 'edge-y' though, it is still amazing photography. Thanks for sharing.

As an interesting side note, it seems that his weapon of choice was a Contax IIIa with a Biogon

We're all light!
The link you put in doesn't work right (just takes me straight to ImageShack's home page), but the thumbneil photo is quite interesting. Thanks for tracking this down!micromontenegro said:As an interesting side note, it seems that his weapon of choice was a Contax IIIa with a Biogon
I'm certainly going to want to see this exhibit in the next week or so. The photos are as compelling as they are disturbing – less in-your-face than in-your-gut. I don't think I could deal with a steady diet of this stuff on the front page – few of us probably could – but these images are hard to get out of my head nonetheless.

Disgusting pictures indeed, I´ve seen some of them before, and I just don´t get it. And here you are, talking about "his weapon of choice"!! I just hope that the author dies in some ridiculous way, and that there will be a jackass off same kind taking photos like he did.

what author? the author of the article, or the photos (or this thread)? 😕 Hoping that someone dies because they took a picture or wrote about someone who took a picture? 😕
