On a related note: did anyone else notice that a lot of these pictures where not 100% sharp, or motion blurry?

It's almost like those things don't matter when you have a good photograph!

Just throwing it out there...

I agree with you Citruspers. But considering what is going on around the photographer and how close he gets to the action he is doing very well.

That is true for any image, artistic blur can actually add to an image, I think.

In this very interesting BJP article, Magnum photographer Peter van Agtmael explains why he couldn't get sharp shots all the time, why it wasn't a priority and how he got beat up by protesters:
