Fri, 12 Oct 2007 18:58:49 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96853 Great links, keep them coming if others know of similar links. I dont know about you guys but im off to buy a scarf, who needs a Leica when you've got a scarf??? Fri, 12 Oct 2007 22:32:58 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96876 Laurent, appreciate this very much, Thank You! Sat, 13 Oct 2007 00:56:54 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96886 Its gotta be a COOL scarf though. Even I my LS profile photo, Im wearing a scarf. But its gotta be a bit of ethnic looking cloth- it cant be like a plaid or tartan one, the kind I wore in winter, with galoshes when I was like 6. That would be awesome! BTW the videos are great, if a bit dated- its very interesting to see Christopher Anderson in VII. Anyone know why he left and joined Magnum ? Sat, 13 Oct 2007 01:03:25 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96887 There's a little info about Christopher's VII to Magnum switch if you google him but no real explanation. It looks like he gave an interview on the subject but it's no longer available from Martin Fuchs blog. I wear ethnic scarves when shooting in India. Never realized how "cool" that made me. :) Sat, 13 Oct 2007 01:27:47 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96889 A tartan pattern is very ethnic. And very fucking cool. Sat, 13 Oct 2007 02:42:29 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96894 Cool videos ... it's always good to hear from Nachtwey. Now I just need a scarf. Sat, 13 Oct 2007 02:58:18 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96896 I agree, Eros. I just wish I saw them more often! Sat, 13 Oct 2007 03:46:26 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96898 Woke up quite sick, I'm wearing a tibetan scarf right now! Don't I look "photo-fashionable" - Not!

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 08:05:22 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96915 Who needs scarfs. Me, I'm going to revive spats. Spats are cool, and look good. You just don't know it. And they keep mud off our shoes in war zones. I know some see spats as a symbol of unfettered 1920's capitalism and the supression of workers. So, I'll also have to "reclaim" spats. Did you know Che wore spats? And Ghandi and Capa and Arafat (when they were young). Ok. Maybe not. But i'll shop the photos and call them iSpats, and they'll only come in white. Then you'll all buy them. All you'll be just as cool. Oh: they look great with scarfs. Just sayin'. Sat, 13 Oct 2007 16:25:20 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96956 Tom I'm with you on the Spats! Men look Sooooo good with fashionable footwear! But regardless of the scarves I still think this is Noble work... Sat, 13 Oct 2007 17:03:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96959 Ehhh- scarfs. Ascot. An elegant accessory from a more civilized time. !http://www.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR3/S/K/Y/G/PAR145697.jpg! ;-) Feli Sat, 13 Oct 2007 19:32:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#96970 the voice over sounds like the guys from south park yet still cool videos. oh and yes scarfs all the way haha Sun, 14 Oct 2007 02:21:34 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97001 What about a fleece scarf? Comfortable, fashionable (to me) and easy cleaning of lenses and cameras. Thanks for the interesting videos. Sun, 14 Oct 2007 02:24:18 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97002 How about this: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/160/416860618_b3798b4bb6.jpg ..or perhaps somebody could design some "LS spats" Have a nice Sunday everybody...! Sun, 14 Oct 2007 08:58:41 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97028 Ladies and gentlemen, I must respectfully disagree. More important than the scarf to one's success as a photographer is to be of shorter-to-middling height with a noticeable but inexcessice belly. All the best photographers are built like that. With a few exceptions of course -- that only prove the rule. ;-)) Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:01:05 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97029 Thank God...I look just like that. Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:19:52 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97031 That is why the Japanese and Chinese are often good in photography (That means nothing, of course)! Otherwise, as I am a good french committed to my principles, wearing scarves in winter, to avoid being sick, I did not understand your attachment to this accessory, and it's very handy for cleaning your lenses and your camera, as Greg said ! So I 1m85 extent, I do not have a big belly and I wear scarves, Am I a good photographer? ;) Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:49:41 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97034 Yes, many scarves but all the same it's excellent work. Sun, 14 Oct 2007 10:49:41 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97038 What if you're tall, dark and handsome? I think I may pull my kiffiyeh out of storage for it's bad-assery. Sun, 14 Oct 2007 11:39:57 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97042 If you’re tall, dark and handsome, you might have a woman or two around your neck, along with your camera and a scarf :-) Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:06:35 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97044 That's not such a bad idea, Michael... :) Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:07:52 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97046 Just FYI, the video can be downloaded in AVI format here: http://www.guba.com/watch/2000904304 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:35:04 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-about-irak-war#97433
