Photographer Paolo Pellegrin wounded in Lebanon
Paolo Pellegrin, Undated photograph
Paolo has an extensive portfolio of his work on MagnumPhoto, which includes shoots of Kosovo which are reminiscent of the recent Qana imbroglio; though for the record, Paolo is more of an artistic photographer than a wire service stringer. Paolo has published five books of his photography, and his work has been featured in Newsweek, along with other magazines.
Here is the post from LightStalkers, sent in by fellow photographer Robert Goddyn:
