he had a great camera;
Actually, it seems he was travelling light....those photos were all taken with a Samsung EK-GC100. I'm not sure I'd fantasize over any 'Point & Shoot' compact as being a 'great camera'.... by their very design they are inherently limited and constrained.
yes he is a photographer, a professional photographer, so his pictures are worth looking at because he knows what to photograph.
Indeed. Given the competitive nature of professional photography and the fact they make their money making photos, they have to take decent photos.
Also those people accusing him of tampering with the crime scene, how do you know he did ? Another journo / rebel / whatever person might have moved the stuff around and he just spotted the photographic composition.
