The Flimwell Papers

A very random collection of stuff that washes up on this writer's shore; the flotsam and jetsam of the internet. I admire others who have set out with theme or considered a byline....this is just where I show my collection of found and discovered likes and loves!

I sent out a little thought on the death of Tim Hetherington last week when in Paris. Now, back in London for a day at home base, I find a lovely remembrance piece which says more than I could and says it better… milkshake-n-honey: thedailywhat: RIP: 41-year-old British-born filmmaker and photojournalist Tim Hetherington, co-director of the Oscar-nominated Afghanistan war documentary Restrepo, was killed today when an RPG struck a group of journalists in the Libyan city of Misrata. Three others were also injured in the attack: Pulitzer Prize-nominated Getty photographer Chris Hondros, Panos Agency photographer Guy Martin — both of whom are said to be in serious condition — and freelancer Michael Brown, who was slightly wounded. In his final tweet, posted just hours before the attack, Hetherington wrote: “In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO.” (Above: Tim Hetherington (right), alongside fellow Restrepo director Sebastian Junger.) [vanityfair.]  A brave and brilliant man. Rest in Peace.
