    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.) Via vanityfair This is what I’ve been rabbiting on about. One of the best contemporary photojournalists of our time. Gone. Mentor, Inspiration, Photographer.
