The Story of Getty Images

USA Today has an interesting business story here about my old outfit Getty Images. It opens with the wild tale of old pal Joe Raedle in heavy combat in Iraq.

A jolting force slammed into the back of Joe Raedle's flak jacket, knocking the veteran photojournalist flat. Bullets, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades rained down on the U.S. Marines Raedle had accompanied into one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war last March.

Bleeding from a shoulder wound, Raedle picked himself up, scrambled behind an earthen berm and went to work.
