More Horses than Tanks?
More horses than tanks, the fake war photographer and why do we ask 鈥榃hat do you do鈥�?
Is the UK the only country with more horses than tanks in its army? And what does the number of tanks say about a country鈥檚 capacity to fight?
On the face of it, Eduardo Martins had an inspiring story as a young, conscientious photographer working in conflict zones. His images were used on a number of reputable news sites, and his Instagram following reached into the tens of thousands. But a 麻豆社 Brasil investigation has revealed Martins to be a fake identity. Martins 鈥� whoever he really is 鈥� took another man's self-portraits and passed them off as his own, and stole the work of a real war photographer.
When we meet someone and ask them what do you do 鈥� what are we really hoping to find out about that person? David Baker explores how much emphasis we place on our jobs as part of our identity.
