Snapped Shot

From a post at LightStalkers, we hear that photojournalist Paolo Pellegrin, working for the New York Times Magazine, was injured in Tyre, Lebanon on the 6th of August. We wish Paolo a speedy recovery!

Paolo has an extensive portfolio of his work on MagnumPhoto, which includes shoots of Kosovo which are reminiscent of the recent Qana imbroglio; though for the record, Paolo is more of an artistic photographer than a wire service stringer. Paolo has published five books of his photography, and his work has been featured in Newsweek, along with other magazines.

Here is the post from LightStalkers, sent in by fellow photographer Robert Goddyn:

Pellegrin stayed in the city Tyre with report donor Scott Anderson van The New York Times magazine. Anderson, Pellegrin and their driver incurred lord shaking thing and wounds of grenade shards.

Pellegrin and Anderson reason in the first car of a convoy, and stopped beside a man who had touched at a rocket attack wounded. Exactly then they from their car stepped a second rocket meant about six meters distance, where the gewonde man came for living.
