Who sez:

I took this photo while we were up on Kevin Street [Dublin], skating the gap from the roof over the railing to the path. Andy was trying to tre flip over it, but before he could land it the Gardai came and moved us on…

I use a Canon 5D Mark II and some prime lenses to take the photos, and natural light to create them. Often with my skate photos I use some flashes to enhance the mood of the shot. By lighting up something ordinary like a set of steps or a handrail, and having somebody do a trick down them you can create something extraordinary.

From the BBC:

In the early 1970s, the British Army ran a secret undercover unit. Its existence was deniable and its tactics were so controversial that the unit was disbanded after just 14 months. Now, for the first time in 40 years, some of the unit’s former members break their silence and talk candidly to [Panorama reporter] John Ware about how they took the war to the IRA, sometimes even imitating the IRA itself. The soldiers believe they saved many lives. But Panorama’s new evidence reveals that some members of the unit operated outside the law, firing on and killing unarmed civilians. The Ministry of Defence says it has referred Panorama’s allegations to the police.
