"Most people, upon hearing gunfire, would run away and hide. Conflict photojournalists have the opposite reaction: they actually look for trouble, and when they find it, get as close as possible and stand up to get the best shot. This thirst for the shot and the seeming nonchalance to the risks entailed earned Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Ken Oosterbroek, and Kevin Carter the moniker of the Bang-Bang Club. Oosterbroek was killed in towns ..."
"Ask any foreign editor on a national paper what part of the job gives them the most grief, and you'll almost certainly be told, "the foreign correspondents". Almost without exception, the reporters who bring back the best stories from war zones are neurotic, dysfunctional, paranoid and almost impossible to deal with. And if The Bang-Bang Club is anything to go by, you can include war photographers in the same category. The Bang-Bang Clu ..."

"This photographic compilation portrays Iraqi Shi'a Muslims in a period of occupation and transition. Recorded over twelve months, the images richly capture the Shi'as' intense commitment to their faith and their indomitable spirit of sacrifice."
"Kevin had once written about his feelings on photography and covering conflict in
an article which expressed thoughts that we had all, on occasion, shared: 'I suffer
depression from what I see and experience nightmares. I feel alienated ... Joao
and I were so offended by the word 'paparazzi' that we persuaded the editor of
the magazine – a friend called Chris Marais – to change it to 'the Bang-Bang
Club' when he wrote a follow-up p ..."

"For example, Alfredo de Carvalho (1855–1910) began his acting career in fairs
and in provisional and improvised stages all around the country and later
became famous for playing the compère in revistas such as Tim tim portim tim,
Tamtam, Em pratos limpos, and Sal epimenta.266 As seen above, the revista
consists in a sequence of contrasting and loosely connected sketches, and the
internal structure of the quadros relies on allegory. ..."

"The Bang-Bang Club was a group of four young war photographers, friends and colleagues: Ken Oosterbroek, Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, war correspondants during the last years of apartheid, who took many of the photographs that encapsulate the final violent years of racist white South Africa. Two of them won Pulitzer Prizes for individual photos. Ken, the oldest and a mentor to the others, died, accidentally shot while w ..."

"I was already drunk when photographer Ken Oosterbroek stood on a table in the living- room and gave a speech. ... later after his death, I was appalled that Ken came across as a typical English-speaking white South African who easily referred insultingly to blacks as peckies. On 16 June 1981, for example, he had spent a long time looking at the bodies of six guerrillas that were lying piled in a heap."
