Joao Silva Update


For the past year I've been following the progress of photographer Joao Silva, one of two surviving members of the Bang Bang Club. Last October, while covering the war in Afghanistan, Silva stepped on a land mine.

Yesterday he competed in the New York Marathon.

    Thanks for the follow up on this amazing human being, Bob. Humbling.

    Thanks, Chip. This will likely be the last update on Silva, though. He's doing better than I am! :-)

    Nice follow up Bob. My daughters ran yesterday also. We saw Joao pass us on First Ave, but I missed him on Fifth Ave. He was pointed out to us by another running fan that was near our location. Hope all is well. bb
