I just got the word that Tim Hetherington was killed today while reporting on the war in Libya; it fuckin sucks, I really enjoyed his work. For hose of you who might not know him, he was one of the creators of the doc Restrepo. Here's a link.

It looks as though his colleague Chris Hondros died from his wounds.

Wouldn't be surprising at this point if more reporters turn up dead, especially since Gaddafi has authorized the shooting of any foreign journalists...sad

He made a short film about his life, based on footage from his time as a photo/video journalist; it's on Youtube.
