This is my buddy Anthony's blog. He's a pro skier and artist and photographer (and I really like his newest post of art photos from his travels...)
Joystick Skiing
This a book by a photographer named Paul Watson and an interview and an article about him. Dude took a crazy important, Pulitzer prize winning photo and its not all such a rosy moment. But he's still winning awards photographing wars and gnarly situations around the world. If I can find it, its gonna be my next book, but they don't have it on Amazon, apparently 'cause he's from Canada (where they kill baby seals...)
Where War Lives
The interview is amazing:

(You can also download the podcast on iTunes.)
The actual photo, very disturbing and graphic image of an American soldier and a mob in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia. Look with care:

Article tying Paul Watson and the next photographer and their divergent/convergent stories, "Ghost of a Man I never Knew":

This is a photo that also won the Pulitzer, but the photographer Kevin Carter took his own life as the years, PTSD and controversy wore him down (Collection of stories about Kevin Carter):
