Hey all,

For those who might be interested, here's a good article about the new crop of conflict photographers, with perspectives on their inexperienced combined, and the influence of digital technology on 'getting the story out there'. Pretty good read.

Here's the link:

I found it especially strange how many of these young photographers are eschewing traditional photographic equipment and merely using their phones!

He's having an exhibit of his prints at Queen Gallery in conjunction with the Diaspora Film Festival in Toronto. Worth checking out.
