Thomas hawk, ending my blog with a bang. this guy has some pretty crazy goals! he wants to finish 1,000,000 finished photographs before he dies, and they are actually a lot of fun and enjoyable to look at. good luck hawk, cant wait to see the rest

jan c schlegel, is a german photographer whose work caught my attention, the photos i saw were focused on the proud tribal parts of life including this man above. it is a wonderful composition and i cant stop looking at this. also really love the back drop, interesting how perfectly it blends with the subject

i thought this was a cool story of an inseparable couple who were not allowed to be buried together because one was a protestant and one was catholic. i couldn't find a photo credit for this specific photo, but it was my favorite out of the ones i saw.

sunset. on mars. photo credit....nasa? yes. well done nasa

Marc Riboud's work from his famous 100 flowers photo gallery. what can i say? Im a sucker for fantastic black and whites. this photo captured my attention with its unique timing and the different facial expressions in the crowd.

photography doesn't always have to be a super deep form of expression. it can sometimes just be about the subject. where you just go out to have a good time, in this case an adrenaline rush. because when you play paintball most peoples heart beats quick and you make some pretty different choices. Christian Campbell shot this, and i thought it was entertaining. reminded me how fun the sport was.

moral of the story, have fun. (dont get shot while taking photos either)

Horst Faas, a german photo journalist and recipient of the pulitzer prize...twice. he shot some beautifully gritty Vietnam war photos and risked his safety to deliver these images to the world. which is pretty darn cool.
