More on Haiti
Joerg Colberg at Conscientious has posted a couple of very useful links, to More Perspectives on Haiti and Crisis Journalism by Matt Lutton on dvafoto and Staring at Death: Photographing Haition Pete Brook’s interesting Prison Photography site which has a very lengthy annotated list of links.
Although Brook, “a very amateur photographer” who has decided because of this to “stick to looking and commenting“ is based in Seattle, he writes “I have strong political views about prison reform, particularly in the United States, and increasingly moreso as regards Her Majesty’s Prison Service in the United Kingdom.”
Me too.
