Sitting here doing some prints for someone, a bit of a chore, but anyway.
I was looking about recently on the web and came across the website of Jon Jones, who used to photograph for The Independent way back in the 1990′s (when it meant something to shoot for them), Jon was staff in London, where as I was a mere freelancer in Scotland. Jon progressed to bigger jobs, becoming a renowned war/conflict photographer, before turning in a different direction to work as a film cameraman.
Looking through Jon’s website I found a link to WarPhoto Ltd, where you can buy prints of wars and conflict by Jon, and by other renowned photographers (including by Yuri Kozyrev, who I think has produced some of the best work from inside Iraq). War Photo Ltd looks to do interesting exhibitions also, and from that website I found a link to WarShooter, described as “A Portal for Photographers Covering Conflict, Crisis and Disaster”. But I didn’t join so I’m not sure what it is like. The only war I see is in the mornings on the Yamanote Line, where, on a daily basis, there’s crisis, conflict and disaster all rolled into one subway carriage.

Anti-perspirant vs perspiration, with the latter winning every time.
