Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I do photography but not really for journalistic documentation, journalists can use photography to do journalism but photography isn't inherently journalism. Some journalists are more biased than others but they're all journalists.

I wouldn't say Fox News hosts are journalists, even though they love to pretend they are. I think they even successfully argued in court that it's an entertainment program so it shouldn't be held to proper ethical standards, yet their audience doesn't take it that way.
