Giving Back To Those Who Cover The Wars

Today, we kicked off our fundraiser for the War Photographers' Retreat.  I hope you will join us by giving. You can read about it over here, then click on the widget thingy.

Without a doubt, certain images taken during wars, conflicts and disasters have become iconic --symbols for a broad range of the human condition.  The person behind the shutter is rarely thought about, yet, those images stored in our collective psyche stay with us for decades.
Just off the top of my head, the iconic images of these photographers are forever in my mind.

The Great Depression :Dorothea Lange
WWII: George Stevens
Vietnam: Nick Ut 
Iraq: Chris Hondros
Afghanistan: Tim Hetherington
There are so many more. So many brave photojournalists have gone back and forth to hives of uncertainty and tragedy for decades. And it's time we give back to them.

I know times are stretched. But a few dollars will help make this ground breaking event precisely the event we think it ought to be. If you can, will you hit the donate button?  Thanks!
