Iraqi Photographers Captured the Costs of War
In my mind’s eye, there is a perpetually revolving carousel of images that define the Iraq war. Many of them I saw in person. But many I did not.
A pool of red, bloody water reflects passers-by with the precision of a mirror. Crushed plastic bottles float on the unruffled surface. That photograph was taken by Ahmad al-Rubaye, a former carpenter and wedding photographer, at the scene of a bombing.
CNN’s iReport Produces Controversy, Llama Photos
CNN attempts to mitigate the predictably chaotic and non sequitur submissions from its almost 1 million registered users by offering online journalism tutorials (shown above), but only 7 percent of iReport content is vetted for wider use by the organization.

Christopher Hitchens, duckrabbit, a festive fistful and a challenge to Falmouth University

Massoud Hossaini’s Front-Page Photograph From an Attack in Kabul
Massoud Hossaini was photographing young Afghan Shiites during a procession for Ashura, which marks the death of Shiite Islam’s holiest martyr. Some of those he had photographed recognized him. The 30-year-old photographer, who is Shiite himself, remembered seeing some of them smile.
