On Tuesday morning, Hetherington left a message on his page on Twitter: "In the besieged city of Misurata Libyan. We randomly bombed Gaddafi's forces. No sign of NATO. "
In 2010, Hetherington, together with director Sebastian Junger made a documentary "Restrepo", for which he received the Grand Prix of Film Festival "Sundance" and was even nominated for an Oscar. This newsreel talked about U.S. troops who served in a remote military base in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley, where several people were killed.
A native of New York, Gondros filmed scenes of armed conflicts around the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Sierra Lyons, Kashmir and the West Bank since the late 90's. In 2004 he became a finalist for "Pulitzer Prize" for his work in Liberia, and in 2006 he received the Robert Capa Gold Medal.
Edition of the Getty Imadzhes "confirmed that Gondors died of his wounds:" Getty Imadzhes "sad to announce the death of his staff photographer Chris Gondorsa, who died from injuries sustained while performing official duties in Libya, where he was filming a story about going there events. Chris has never refused to go to the front line of armed conflicts around the world, and the mission in Libya was his next job. We tried to support his family and his fiancee, who had just received the terrible news, and ready to deliver the body of Chris's home, where his friends and family will say goodbye to him. This is an irreplaceable loss for us.
Staff photographer Michael Robinson Chavez, who rode with Gondrosom in missions abroad, he added: "Chris Gondros was more than just a talented photographer. He has always acted with brilliance in any debates and discussions regarding the armed conflict that we were shooting around the world, as well as the countries we visited. It's so important to know who and what fights that caused the conflict, and who can be trusted. But Chris was always perfectly aware of all this, and we could always rely on his opinion.
He was always confident in myself and knew how to persuade others, is fundamentally arguing. I remember how grizzled he returned from Iraq, so many news agencies have not ventured to send back more of its correspondents in 2004. And Chris said: "In the same American soldiers and Iraqi civilians who are killed every day. How can we not publish the news from there? ". And he was right.
I first met him in 2002 when we were filming scenes of the Israeli incursion into the West Bank and Gaza Strip. His keen mind allowed him to always choose a good frame to a simple picture you could see the horror of the events that surround us. Since then, our paths crossed many times: Iraq, Israel and Palestine, and repeatedly, the recent revolution in Egypt and the Russian-Georgian conflict in 2008. We worked together on this subject. I still can not by itself: if Chris rented a car, but I ditched it on these horrible roads, trying to keep up with the Russian military convoy.
I will miss Chris. To me it just an ideal of what should be a real photographer, and I will always strive to be like him - a talented photographer and journalist. Dedication and intelligence are so important in our work, and Chris have both these qualities. You were a special correspondent, Chris, and we will miss your keen eye and your neslomimogo spirit. "
Staff photographer Rick Loomis said: "We have worked with Chris Gondrosom in the U.S. and abroad, but always in places where nobody else wanted to go but to the most inveterate photographers. He always tried to get the most compelling footage in those places in the world where this is going on chaos. He always tried to impress people, get them through what he suffered. I remember a photograph of a small, smeared with the blood of an Iraqi child whose parents were killed by American soldiers. These resonance images have been published elsewhere, causing people to think about what is really happening there, where war rumbles. And it was one of the many cases where it works do reveal people's eyes to the truth.
He was very smart, he's always been good hanging tongue, and he knew how to lead a discussion on any topic with officials. He was witty and had a peculiar sense of humor, so he was often at the center of attention at events with the participation of other journalists. And if you were at work with him, you can be sure that you're in the right place to get nice shots. Today they are with Tim Hetherington were in the wrong place at the wrong time - this is a situation in which the risk to be all of us, doing your job. I try to console myself that he died doing one thing for which he lived. "
