Serious props to Gwyneth Paltrow for plugging Lynsey Addario’s new book and talking about the importance of war photojournalism in the latest GOOP newsletter. (Yes, I subscribe.) But it wouldn’t be a GOOP newsletter if it weren’t so very GOOP. To sum up the today’s headlines: War photography is good! Soup cleanses sooo good! (via GOOP)

“Indeed, that has been one of the most troubling parts of the deaths of Tim and Chris Hondros. Chris has somehow dropped from public view. He was a consummate professional and classical photojournalist; quietly, consistently and diligently covering all the major conflicts since the late 90′s in an even-handed style. Amidst his steady approach are two icons of war photography from Liberia and Iraq. He was also popular and highly respected by his peers. Yet his name is often mentioned as an afterthought, if at all. Paradoxically, it was this kind of elevation of the individual to the exclusion of the bigger ideas that Tim was trying to reject with his work.”

Peter van Agtmael in a piece for Lightbox about Chris Hondros, Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger’s HBO documentary

If it’s small, cheap and made of plastic, it can probably be found in Yiwu, a city in China’s southeastern Zhejiang province. The marketplace there, called China Commodity City, claims to be the world’s largest wholesale market for small goods, and its sprawling buildings house vast quantities of mass-produced trinkets — crafts, Christmas trees, Barbie-doll knockoffs — that are exported from there to hundreds of locations abroad. Mornings are generally the busiest times, when international buyers, especially from the Middle East, Africa and South America, crowd the stalls, haggle with merchants and place their orders; in the afternoons, the mood relaxes, and sellers take naps in full view of the customers.
