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.
brandon allen photographs pure adventure. i like alot of his work escpecially when he shoots motorcycles. i feel like he really captures the travel spirit that all motocyclists fight. you know...the urge to ride south for the winter permanently. fuck winter.

Duane Michals was a photographer we talked about in class, i looked up the work of Michals and i really loved a lot of it. these two were some of the first that really got my attention.
