My old friend Michael P. King sent me a link to this preposterous tv show on ‘war photographers’ yesterday.
Ashley Franscell worked the past couple of months following a woman who is dying of breast cancer. Here is her story
Welcome to the flagship “episode” of Saturday’s For Suckers. Vids, vids, vids will be forced down your throats on all of my last posts each month. Most of ’em will be themed but this month’s video buffet is an ADHD-worst-nightmare free-for-all. Peep:

Working with video expert Jerome Thelia, David McClain had been using a Panasonic AG-HVX200 to create unique mixed-media spots for his clients that blended high-resolution still pictures with the motion and clarity of high-definition video.

the NUJ has released a short film called Press Freedom: “Collateral Damage” which tackles the issue of police surveillance of bona fide journalists who document political dissent.
The film is a damming account of the Orwellian techniques and methods of the Metropolitan Police Forward Intelligence Team (FIT Squad) over the last few years.
