3. According to the AP :Faas photographed wars, revolutions,
the Olympic Games and events in-between. But he was best known for
covering Vietnam, where he was severely wounded in 1967 Photo by

horror-because-he-felt-it-7737833.html In regards to the state of
photojournalism, Liam Kennedy said : Korea was the last war that
most Americans viewed primarily through photographs in print. By
1962, over 80% of American homes had television and in 1968 over
60% of Americans looked to television for news on the Vietnam war.
However, the statistics do not tell us about the conditions of
visual news production and its effects. Photojournalism did not
quite cede the ground of news representation to television, rather
these mediums existed in a relationship of mutual influence.

commitment to telling difficult stories was unique and
remarkable.

Photo by AP, Horst Faas with multiple leica cameras In an interview
with Terry Gross Faas said: Well, I wasn't the first one to use
Leica. Larry Burrows, had considerably more Leicas then I had
because at the time AP was still working with large-format cameras
and I carried one or two of my own Leicas in there.
6. According to Adrian Hamilton, Faas once said: "I tried to be
in the newspaper every day, to beat the opposition with better
photos. Hamilton :That belied a spirit that was anything but
uninvolved. If Faas won four major international prizes for his
work, including two Pulitzers, it was because he pictured horror
with the close-up ferocity of a man who, like McCullin, felt it.
(McCullin is also a photographer) Lyons said : Faas was a giant in
the world of photojournalism whose extraordinary commitment
7. "He was an exceptional talent both behind the camera and
editing the work of others and even in the grimmest circumstances
he always made sure to live life to the fullest," Lyon said.

Kathleen Carroll said "Horst was one of the great talents of our
age, a brave photographer and a courageous editor who brought forth
some of the most searing images of this century,"He was a
stupendous colleague and a warm and generous friend. According to
Hamilton : If the world now has a sense of a bitter conflict fought
with great brutality and enormous suffering to the civilian
population it is thanks in large part to the work of Faas
8. Photo by Horst Faas,1964
http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/eye-of-combat-photographer-
horst-faas/7/ In this photograph, a man is pictured holding is son,
who was killed. He is looking up to South Vietnamese fighters. For
this image I chose . It is clear that the subject, the father and
son are off center and not in the middle of the image. I also chose
because the subjects In the front are clear and in focus whereas
the background is faded and focused out and hard to make out.
Lastly I chose , because it just saddens anyone who takes a look at
it, its a very powerful image and of course an image of a child who
was killed.

because-he-felt-it-7737833.html?action=gallery&ino=1 For this
image I chose, . I chose this because of the obvious sunshine that
is coming through the jungle. The subjects are sitting down and the
light shining through just brings out the photo, and brightens up a
rather horrible situation that the fighters are in. I also chose
Although its hard to tell the subjects seemed relaxed and one seems
like he is tired. The the image, the sunlight brings on a greater
mood. Their obviously having a bad day and the sun creates a
greater mood.

this image is the helicopters hovering above, they take up most of
the image. The soldiers look almost as big as the helicopters. The
feelings that this image creates is more sadness. The soldiers seem
to be getting ready to charge into battle.
12. Faas wanted to take photos of things that werent able to be
seen by the civilian eye, thanks to him and many other
photojournalists of that era, we have images of Vietnam that tell
us stories, and show us what soldiers and the Vietnamese went
through. According to the AP :Horst Faas didn't just cover the
fighting - he also recruited and trained new talent from among
foreign and Vietnamese freelancers. Photo by AP, pictured :Horst

combat photographer who carved out new standards for covering war
with a camera and became one of the worlds distinguished
photojournalists in nearly a half- century
13. Horst gave opportunities to others and helped them. He
offered them jobs as his freelance photographers and created an
army of them. As a nursing major we are taught to help others and
have passion. Although passion cant be taught, because you must
have it in you, much like Faas. http://www.nursingprograms.com/wp-
