I am not going to Syria at this time and only helping out so you are clear when no one contacts you.

An unknown person not providing personal contact data at an unknown location announces willingness to work for foreigners in an extremely hostile environment and a bunch of pro´s jump instantly on him like starving dogs. come on, are you kidding? mind the gap... Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:21:10 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177259 If anyone is planning on going to Syria... drop me an email at musa [at] musachowdhury.com I will put you in contact with a good fixer. I was there a few weeks ago and plan to go back in a few weeks time. The Battle for Aleppo - www.musachowdhury.com PS. Finally, any war zone is dangerous! thats the risk you take as a journalist! Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:40:21 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177260 I have to agree with you randbild... we may end up a couple members short on here! Good photojournalism doesn't mean sacrificing common sense guys! Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:14:59 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177262 like lambs to the slaughter. folks, many reputable journalists have been in and out. do your job and get in contact with them. if you haven't heard of problems with people running into trouble trying to cross you don't want to be there as you are CLEARLY not prepared. Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:10:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177279 whomever 'maged' is. if you want to discuss my comments feel free to do so here vs. email i stand by what i said. journalists need to do their job and that involves using the head god gave them. as Robert, Randbild and Ryan gave pointed out. mind the gap indeed Sun, 02 Dec 2012 02:32:14 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177317 'you are nothing because you gave nothing.İ am ready and you are not.İ thing this is the difference you feel sad for lost journalist .Journalists lost everywhere Syria .Idleb.Jeser al shoghour' these are the mails i have been receiving from your so called 'fixers' people. again, as has been mentioned... be very careful about who you hire. do your research, talk to people who have been in and out and be a professional. the email is correct, i will always be concerned and regret the lost of journalists anywhere. Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:17:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177331 Just be mindful when you are out there, respect the people... Some journalist have been stomping their feet around and being bossy with the locals! You're life is in the hands of the FSA, fixer etc... Just listen to them and don't push them!!! Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:45:07 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177332 John, I'm sorry you have to receive emails like that... I'm not really sure if I got their point but I just wonder what these "fixers" would say if all the journalists would say "People lost everywhere" and do their stories based on that idea? Or wouldn't go there at all? laura Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:23:20 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/syria-5#177334
