Doesn’t time fly when you’re bringing freedom to the world?

My friend Christian recently travelled to Jordan with his camera to cover a story that I haven’t seen much about elsewhere. Certainly not in the mainstream press. Christian makes his living from photography, but he’s also embraced Social Media.

In fact it’s much more than an embrace – while the rest of us were still stammering at the front door, he’s climbed up into the bedroom and fucked the living shit out of Social Media. He’s been truly innovative on just about every platform I know and it’s a pleasure to see him go back to his roots and then use these new platforms to distribute his work.

If you’re old media and worried about keeping up you should be paying Documentally for his advice.

Here’s his photo-video (edited by Bill Cammack, another one of the good guys):

I love what he does here with conventional photography – it works in a way that conveys a sense of immediacy that a ‘talking heads’ style approach would never have captured.

The truly sad thing is that as much as I love watching Christian do the wacky stuff he’s become known for, I feel there’s always going to be a need for him to jump on a plane to report on these horrific problems that we keep causing.
