Edited by: CCP Abraxas on 02/06/2008 16:49:15 Now we see life through a lens. I am very happy with the way this story turned out. It has is faults like everything else, but it hits a tone that I've always wanted to hit. Anyone who's read Brian Hodge will catch the obvious references, and if you haven't read Brian Hodge, you're missing out.

Edit: Wow, my 1st ever (2nd-1)-post
2nd edit: Will there be high-res pics of older chronicles be added? Pretty please!?

That was a fun read, I like the different angle it tells the story from and the feel of the events from the photographer. I may not be able to participate in FW, but at least I can enjoy these stories about it! ------

Good story. Am I reading too much into it that I pick up an underlying story? Perhaps something about those who witness atrocities and do nothing are just as guilty as those commiting them?
The new expantion has some very good potential for "game lore". This is just one of many stories I hope to read in reguards to it :)

Oh wow that was amazing.
The photographer needed the madmen just as the madmen needed the photographer.
Brilliant.

Same, lol.
That story was really "down to earth" so to speak. No big battles in space or anything, just people doing naughty little vandalism. __________

You took the words right out of my mouth. I love the winking that the mad man did at the end.

I'd guess they are made by the EVE art department. But would indeed be nice to know by whom exactly. Maybe combine his/her name and the picture's name to the file's name?

Excepting "A Life in Three Acts", the last bunch of stories have all been about small people, for various definitions of "small". We're gearing up for war now, which means loud people shouting things, but don't worry; my focus always shifts back to the c*racks in the pavement eventually.
As for high-res pics, we're only getting the new ones for now. I'm not going to promise anything else, but when things slow down a bit for us (hah!) we can take a look at doing something with the older pieces.

Exactly. The grander implications of exactly that theme will become clear when you read Tony's novel and find out who these people were.

We never sign stuff; if I didn't set up these threads you wouldn't even know who wrote the stories But the artist for these recent pieces is a very nice Frenchman named Michel Koch. He doesn't post here, but if you have questions to him you can ask them in the thread and I'll relay his answers.

fantastic story as ever. well we now know one of the contributing factors to the Caldari-Gallente war. I do like the the fact he is basically doing most of their for them, due largely because he is not saying to anyone where they are likely to go next and that he is providing free publicity for them.
although the only downside to the story is the picture. It says he takes his mask off but the picture shows him with it on. But nevertheless i like the pic

It's great to see a Caldari doing the work of the Federation. Wow, he even goes as far as to publish the pictures and show everyone our exploits. In all the horrendous events the Federation have had to put up with the Caldari State, a tiny thanks is in order for this modest individual.

i liked it.
one thing i dont get is why the police didnt start following this guy around.
i mean, wouldent they realise this guy knows where there going to be and to set up some gaurds or something? "When you think you have one, you have lost." Mediocre Cruiser pilot FTW |

I wouldn't be surprised if some one of the people in the attacks are police themselves.

Great story, completly loved it, really portrays what the Caldari on Caldari prime have to deal with. I'm looking forward to the day when the Caldari liberate the planet and return the favour onto Gallente Prime, take those worthless Gallente down, Caldari rule.

Gotta love the bickering and the upcoming war between the Federation and the State... I am positively tingling with joy to see these two powerhouses duke it out `till the bitter end. Long live Amarr ... we will rule the universe after the war

The start seems a little poor. ôMy hearing was gone, too, replaced with a constant, high-pitched whine.ö Then seconds later ôI could hear live electricity flying about.ö Surly he was deaf with ringing in his ears so he shouldnÆt have been able to hear anything else like electricity?
Apart form that very good and I like the ending.

Excellent story, another one that i've enjoyed reading. Perhaps more than most :)
And thanks for the tip on the high res artwork. There's definately some good stuff, there, and high res simply looks so much better as background for my desktop :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this chronicle. It was an excellent story of journalism and the ending pretty much gave me shivers, it was that well written. These are the kind of short stories I like, even love. Mad dogs made me want to read more.

Personally, I miss the captions that used to grace the pictures in the earlier chronicles, added a little bit more info that helped one more greatly appreciate the fiction it was related to.
Any news on that?

That was a fantastic story.
The comparison of the slaver hound and the Gallente terrorists/revolutionaries was nothing short of exceptional. "A slaver hound will without hesitation tear apart a human being, taking its time to eat the flesh and muscle, and so long as you don't get between it and its meal it won't care at all that you're near," then with the ghastly individual staring into the lens, smiling.. chilling.
A wonderful Chronicle, and the first I read. I plan on reading many more.

The first thing I noticed was in the first few sentences: ".... and before I could wonder what on earth they'd been doing ... ". I thought they no longer remembered the planet Earth in New Eve.

I am sure some archaic expressions exist in EVE. Kind of like the phrase 'O.K.' Everyone says it but no one really knows where the expression comes from and linguists still debate on its original meaning.
