#2Suicide? With a lion facing you in one direction and a tiger at the other, rushing at the tiger isn't suicide. Stupid fucking journalists.

Did you read the whole piece? I thought the reality faced was described in all of its possible dimensions and much more so than I've ever seen any where else.

#4I think I only ever saw it in the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. I do remember it from that occasion, however. Pretty memorable photo.
I have no idea what it has to do with startups or technology, though.

No. I guess I don't think it bears that much analysis. Fire hot, ground far, shit happens.

I think you've missed the point. The photographic - in detail and in scope - is very far removed from "Fire hot, ground far, shit happens."

It doesn't have to have anything to do with startups or technology to be here. It just has to be interesting to hackers.

Photography is an artistic numbers game. When Michael Angelo plots out a creation over months, that's one thing. When a photographer grabs an aestetically pleasing bit of snuff porn in a lucky 0.5 millisecond window, that's another.
Terrorism, you'll know when it works...they'll be talking about it 7 years later.

I'm sorry I was with you until you said this.
Most photographers don't get a good photo with each camera snap. They capture what's happening as it happens and go back to find it. So while Drew didn't capture any other photos - apparently - that took the nation's eye, this photo is still an excellent one.

Not sure where your disagreement is.
