There's an interesting article in today's paper about how each of four photographers captured his own picture of the man who tried to stop a column of tanks with his own body. All about being there and desperately trying to get the shot and smuggling the film out.

A couple years ago, I sold a 35 summicron to Jeff Widener - who was working in Hawaii at the time. (Widener was with the AP at the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre)

When I spoke with him in 2007, he was working on some project showing the darker side of Hawaii. Think it was all being done with B&W film.
I don't see that project on his site at this time, but he has some nice documentary work there. http://www.jeffwidener.com/h/
