Sorry, Mark... no, just using your post to hang a response on and
further the conversation. :^)
...just to continue...
There is nothing macho about soiling yourself with fear... but you still
have to get that close to photograph that fear in someone else.
You can't tell/show someone what it is like to be "there" if you are not "there"
The advantage of being a writer is you can sit in the hotel bar and listens
to witnesses account and write about it. A photographer has to be a first
person witness to do his job.... or do it well.
That is what's meant by being close...
