The Austin Chronicles

That’s it, everyone. Time to get off the hipster train. Everybody off. This is the last stop. Yup, Fergie in a Black Flag t-shirt did it. Cause of death? Ironic detachment. You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here. 

Hipsterdom: born 1957- died 2011.

“Marty and Joe took their radio broadcast to the seats in center field for some time in the 1970’s” Anybody remember that? I bet it was awesome!

Guy has some great writers but he’s a master at delivery.

2:45 to 4:19 is the best. You really have to hand it to him. He’s a brilliant public speaker.

Chris Hondros: How He Got that Picture : CJR

From Columbia Journalism Review:

As the world knows by now, the photographers Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington were killed on April 20 in Misurata, Libya. Hetherington was the better known of the two for his documentary, Restrepo. But we have a special feeling for Hondros, whom we got to meet when he took part in a CJR panel discussion. In late 2006, for our forty-fifth anniversary issue, the magazine ran an extended oral history, which later became a book, Reporting Iraq, an oral history of the war by the journalists who covered it. It included photos, and every time we laid our potential choices out we were drawn to Hondros’s work. They had a recognizable humanity and an almost-beautiful light, even when they depicted the worst. One photo we chose was taken moments after a family car had been accidently shot up at a checkpoint. We see a soldier and a blood-covered little girl who had just lost her parents, not an image you can quickly get out of your head. When Judith Matloff interviewed Hondros for our history, we found the backstory of that photo so compelling that we used it to end the book. Here is the result of that interview, Chris Hondros on how he got that picture…
