Video Games Grab Our Hearts, Hands, Faces

Hm, I may be a bit tardy on this one, but UK journo/photographer Jon Jordan (who also writes a weekly column on the Europe game biz for Gamasutra) has been getting lots of attention, even from ze mythical BoingBoing, for his Flickr gallery of gamer hands, all joystick-ing or otherwise portable-ing in charmingly different ways.
As well as being an excellent writer, Jon has officially photographed GDC Europe on more than one occasion (causing me anguish when I find out he can't write stuff cos he's taking pictures of stuff!), and I also note his photos from the Gamecity 06 event are up and very neat-looking - hey, there's Edge's Margaret Robertson hiding behind a glass of water, as Edge editors do quite a lot. His GDC '06 pics are nice, too. [via Pocket Gamer.]
[All of this finally brings me round to linking Phillip Toledano's pictures of gamer faces, which are also rather telling - really, all this points out that a lot of game-related photos are kinda useless, and photojournalism and game journalism need to get a bit closer together.]

re: mr. toledano's pics... name escapes me, but great art piece of children's faces, all taunt and withdrawn. They were watching tv....
