Review of War photography
Although the subject is topical, this particular piece was produced in April 2004 in response to images from Fallujah and the war in Iraq. Because of its reference to a particular event, the introduction is dated. The introduction aside, Haviv speaks of the power and importance of photography in areas of conflict. The interviewer does a good job of examining Haviv?s personal and journalistic response to his work.
