i was really grieved when i read these young and amazing war photographers/journalists were killed yesterday in the same incident, in misrata, libya.
2 men who fearlessly gave their all, to provide us a safe yet front-row seat into the wars that rage.
i applaud all who have the courage to make a difference, putting their very lives on the line
so that we can become more "awake"; for there are far too many armchair spectators among us.
today i dedicate jack london's credo to tim and chris:
"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to LIVE, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
and what a beautiful example of LIVING you both were.
your impact made was immeasureable, and will forever live on.
