So while your all thinking about how to do your hair tonight, i’d like to give you a little reality check, come crashing down with me.
Many years ago, i met this chap called John D, in fact it was shooting the Alturnituve Miss World.
Alternative Miss World

There are many photographers out there, and many are insecure twats, who are no fun. I’m not going to go into it, but when you meet someone nice, you tend to stay in touch, as with John D.


So form AMW to Afghanistan, John D is now a full time war reporter. For his passion, just after the photo below was taken, he was blown to bits, but after many months, he was fixed up. He now is back out there, doing work for the Guardian. Totally fucking Mental, but someone has to do it.

Now I wouldn’t normally blog this, but a recent piece called ‘Lost in Translation’, is a totally amazing piece of reporting. You must check it out!!!


Lost In Translation - When the US 173rd Airborne’s Charlie Company try to speak to a Pashtun elder, the gulf is so great even the interpreters have given up interpreting. John D McHugh reports, with Teresa Smith and Alex Rees.
