Horst Faas, War Photography

Earlier this month, Pulitzer prize winning conflict photographer Horst Faas passed away.

The German is best known for his Vietnam War photography with over a decade spent with the AP in Southeast Asia, and was responsible for publishing iconic work by his colleagues.

These include the “Napalm Girl” photograph by Nick Ut of then nine-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc running naked from a US bombing attack; and “Saigon Execution” by Eddie Adams of a prisoner being executed in the street by police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan.

Faas’ first Pulitzer in 1965 came for his Vietnam War coverage. He won his second in 1972 for his conflict coverage in Bangladesh.

Faas died from complications due to an infection he contracted during a 2005 correspondents’ reunion in Hanoi that eventually paralyzed him from the waist down.

Momofuku Milk Bar - Chocolate Chip Layer Cake

Sat and looked at the book for an age - finally gave myself the time to take up the Momofuku Milk Bar cake challenge.

Nearly left it too long in the oven but the next day could honestly say I was thrilled with the result.

And I wasn’t the only one. Am already planning the next challenge.
