The comparison of the "war zone" to life in the suburbs where you tried to "act normal" is a powerful metaphor. I wonder if some occupations create the same existential tension (police officer, emergency room nurse, soldier, as well as war or social conflict photographer). I continue to appreciate your insightful views.
Graeme, I just subbed to you. I’m going to try and buy the book (uk). I remember those days well, but strangely, in the early 2000’s my girlfriend lived in a small little house somewhere close to Melville. We used to receive copies of various photography magazines in the name of Kevin Carter. I forget the street name but it’s top of Melville opposite a church (now a house) quite close to CNN, a few streets from B Hertzog I think / the one that passes the lower end of wits uni, and the SABC building in the other direction. Great video mate!
I totally agree with that schizophrenic aspect to photojournalism, walking away from an extremely situation trying to fit back into normal life and then going back again.

Hi Jim I would imagine that it is difficult to hold a balance between work and social life. Thanks.
