Many have been killed. Until the invention of photography, the general public knew little or nothing of the horrors of war. The criticism of Steve McCurry reminds me of Robert Capa, whose photo of the Spanish resistance fighter at the moment of his death as being staged. It wasn't, his name is known.<br />I don't know whether Steve McCurry ever was in combat nor do I care. What I care about is the message his photographs bring, that war is hell.

How can you go back 34 years and smear a legend's legacy by making false allegations? Entitled rich people do that sitting in their fancy mansions. Unlike Steve McCurry who visited war-torn countries and has generated a lot of attention and help to people in poor countries, Tony thinks that a couple of 100 USD with Squarespace justifies a clickbaity video where he plays moral apostle from his virtual pulpit.

I just don't understand how he can live with himself. He never even apologized to McCurry ("I regret not providing sources").

I suspect he'll do the same under these McCurry videos once the dust settles. He will shadow ban all the people that have criticised him. It will be a lot of work, but since he's not doing any photography jobs, he will do it manually one by one, with his wife together.Haroldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674438010031021683.post-25132896083900928262019-03-11T13:46:15.224+08:002019-03-11T13:46:15.224+08:00He once banned me for just correcting him a little...He once banned me for just correcting him a little bit, it was a very innocent comment, and I was very polite. I used to be their fan, but after that I was really disappointed. Now with this McCurry smear campaign I am not going to watch them, nor consider using Squarespace.
