Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Horst Faas, who captured several iconic moments during the Vietnam War, died May 10. He was 79.

It was in Vietnam where Faas was severely wounded by a rocket fragment in 1967. A medic and a tank driver helped load him onto a helicopter, where he was dispatched to a medical facility.

“The only decision I made at that time was not to go to Honolulu or New York or anywhere, but to stay in Vietnam,” he said. “One reason being that I had total trust in military surgeons who were dealing with these problems day in, day out. And secondly, I tried to avoid having my legs broken again at the New York head office and being made a photo editor at headquarters, ‘cause that would have ended the great days of photography, eh?” [complete 1997 interview here]

One of the great photojournalist, Horst Faas.

Leica unveils M-Monochrom black-and-white rangefinder and X2 premium compact

The new M-Monochrom rangefinder takes the body of the familiar M9 but replaces the guts with an 18-megapixel, full-frame sensor that doesn’t “see” colors — Leica claims it records true luminance values, which results in significantly cleaner and sharper images than you’d get converting color photos to black-and-white.
