Horst Faas spent years educating and training new generations of photojournalists

Despite being injured in 1967, he stayed in the country until 1970.

"I think of him as nothing less than a genius."

Germany-born Faas won four major photo prizes, including two Pulitzers, during his career, and served as AP's Saigon photo chief at the height of the war.

"I tried to be in the newspapers every day, to beat the opposition with better photos. I didn't try to do anything grandiose. The photos were used and published and asked for, becuase Vietnam was on the front pages year after year after.

He died after suffering years of health problems, including paralysis from the waist down.

"He will be sorely missed by scores of colleagues, especially that reduced group with whom he covered conflict, particularly the Vietnam generation."

"I lived from day to day, from event to event. It was a perfect story for an agency photographer."

Speaking to the BBC in 2007, Faas described his job in simple terms.

"He was an exceptional talent both behind the camera and editing the work of others and even in the grimmest circumstances he always made sure to live life to the fullest," Lyon said.

He worked in what was then Zaire, and in Algeria, before relocating to Vietnam, where he won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1965.

"I don't think anyone stayed longer, took more risks or showed greater devotion to his work and his colleagues," said New York Times journalist David Halberstam, who once lived with Haas.

Accepting the award, he said he aimed to "record the suffering, the emotions and the sacrifices of both Americans and Vietnamese in… this little bloodstained country so far away," AP said.

When not in the midst of the conflict, Faas worked at AP's Saigon base, viewing and selecting images from his photographers to transmit on the wire to the rest of the world.

Under his direction, AP photographers captured images that quickly became synonymous with the long war: among the most notable were Eddie Adams' image of the execution of a Viet Cong suspect and Nick Ut's picture of a naked Vietnamese girl fleeing a napalm attack.

Celebrated combat photographer Horst Faas, who covered the Vietnam War for the Associated Press, has died aged 79, his daughter says.

He had a front row view of much of that suffering.

‘Genius’

Faas was injured in 1967 and later used a wheelchair for many years.

"Horst Faas was a giant in the world of photojournalism whose extraordinary commitment to telling difficult stories was unique and remarkable," said Santiago Lyon, AP's global head of photography.

He began his career covering conflicts in 1960, four years after joining the Associated Press (AP).

In Saigon he trained and mentored young Vietnamese photographers who captured many of the war's defining images.

Eddie Borgo may be showing his Fall 2012 jewelry collection in Paris this week, but the downtown designer is in a perpetual New York state of mind. As are his baubles, which, this season, were inspired by Gotham’s underground metropolis. “There’s this subterranean landscape beneath major cities like New York, from subways to waterways to sewage tunnels. It’s almost the real skeleton of every major metropolis,” Borgo tells Style.com. After studying these intricate systems, the designer turned out a sophisticated range of gold and gunmetal accessories that balance literal translations of his influences with strong, fluid lines and sharp geometry. NYC’s industrial underground appears on a cuff finished with a textured gunmetal plate that resembles a manhole, bracelets garnished with lava rock (which the designer intended to mimic asphalt), screw and mallet earrings, and a necklace crafted to look like a spouting pair of drainpipes.

Borgo notes that this is his most technically complicated collection to date, which is apparent in the assembly of both his Mainline bangle, a sewage pipe-inspired piece that’s fused together with hand-cut pavé crystal rings, and his Expansion Joint cuff (pictured), a mammoth piece of hardware that, bound with rows of raw nuts and bolts, looks as though it was pulled right out of New York’s netherworld.

“Grates, sewage pipes, joint connectors, and coils may be familiar to our eyes but there’s a way to make these sculptural things that are such a part of our daily lives beautiful,” says Borgo, who revealed that he plans to take a tour of New York’s subterrestrial maze when he returns next week. Of course, a bit of bling always helps, too. Nevertheless Borgo succeeds in making the mundane, and even the ugly, into covetable pieces of hardware.

There’s something oddly attractive, FABULOUS and dangerous about this eagle claw necklace, which was seen last night on True Blood. It’s by Pamela Love and available at the HBO Shop for $60! Not since the iconic flower and nameplate necklace from Sex and the City have I wanted to pick up the phone and order something connected to a TV show (well, maybe a ShamWow), but I think I want this.

I don’t give a flip about vampires, but I’m suddenly being very influenced by anything Twilight and True Blood-related. This is very chic and bronze – which I can’t shut up about. It’s wicked fierce and basically unisexy, no? Purchase info: Buy it here.

They’re baaaaack!

Clogs were a major statement on the runways for Spring 2010. So,Replica True Religion t-shirts, it’s time to re-examine the once-dated footwear trend. There will be high-heeled clogs at Chanel, Gucci always keeps a suede stacked heel style around — a la Janis Joplin — and heavily ornamented styles often come from Louis Vuitton.

And although this look hasn’t completely gone away (Crocs, anyone?), you will be surprised to see how crazy this made designers for spring. I love these Silver Wooden Swedish Clogs because they’re cute and well-priced at $95. One thing’s for sure: These shoes — sized 5 to 11 — are obviously attention getters.

“When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless. I didn’t have any money and I was living in my motorcar,wholesale moncler,” the actor recollections. “I wasn’t allergic to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a fellow buy me a sandwich. Know what I average?”

“Until you’ve savored the edible, you don’t know whether you’ll like it or no, as my mom always mentioned,” he says.

Thomas Jane elected up a few cheats of the commerce ahead he was hurl above HBO’s gigolo drama Hung.

Jane adds that the experience “blew the gates off my accustomed upbringing” and opened him up to new possibilities. “You’re a lot more open to experimentation as a youth man,” he tells The L.A. Times. “And because me, being a young artiste and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual personality.”

The 42-year-old tells The L.A. Times namely as a struggling 18-year-old player, he constantly fulfilled sexual deeds with other men in mandate to pay the bills. “As James Dean said, you’re working to have one arm tied behind your behind if you don’t approve people’s sexual flavors,” Jane explains.

The actor — whose sometime wives embody Aysha Hauer and Patricia Arquette — doesn’t repent his decision to dabble in same-sex narratives.
