A Tribute to Mr. Tim Hetherington

Posted: April 25th, 2011 | Author: | 2 Comments »

This week, the world lost a great filmmaker/photographer/journalist in Mr. Tim Hetherington. This is a most difficult time for his friends and family, as well as one of our very own, Idil Ibrahim, for whom Tim was her “better half”. It’s hard to know what to say or do, but it feels right to celebrate the work that Mr. Tim Hetherington produced in a career balanced by art, integrity and a passion to expose truths we rarely see as war has become more of a noun to discuss, than a verb we experience.

If a picture says a thousand words, then Tim told millions of stories. He put a lens on the realities of human struggle and ultimately, the quest for basic freedoms that we all deserve, yet form the basis of our conflicts when they are withheld.

We share our deepest sympathies for all those touched by Tim’s presence. Since our words will never suffice, please take a few moments to experience the gift that he shared for those willing to challenge themselves with the truth, free of political slant and posturing. Something that’s sorely missing from today’s media.

May his family and loved ones find solace in this trying time.

And may he rest in peace.

    That’s love for the craft. If you put someone like that in an office, they couldn’t stand themselves. A week ago, I saw a clip of a videographer accidently getting in the way when a grenade was detonated. You could feel the dust from the video. Hetherington seemed to be one of those people. Those videographers and reporters aren’t walking fine lines. They as much a part of the combat as the trained soldiers. Tieuel Legacy! Motion
