spats Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Some really great photos there! Here's a couple of fav photos of mine: This one's called "The Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville" and is very well known. It's been a lot of debating if it's a set up or taken in the moment. This is quite famous as well, a train that been running through one of the walls of Gare Montparnasse, Paris, 1895. I would bet the making out is setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 One of Gene Smith's WW2 photos. A baby found in a cave on Saipan (1944). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleNecker Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Many of you who truly enjoy some publicized photography, you should consider getting this book. It's got some of the most breathtaking pictures I've ever seen (including some from the three wars -WWII, Korean War, Vietnam-) and it's a great buy.

I have Life photographer Larry Burrows' book 'Compassionate Photographer'. The shots from Vietnam are amazing. He was right in the mud with those guys. He was killed in Laos in 1971.

You pretty much summed it up, I think they are amazing because they risked their lifes to deliver the news to us about what those troops were going through.

Near Dong Ha 1966 While some of those photos are understandably too gruesome to be shown on television it's amazing how sanitized this current war is when it comes to television coverage.

redrum Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 While some of those photos are understandably too gruesome to be shown on television it's amazing how sanitized this current war is when it comes to television coverage. Sanitized for our protection. I love the old platinum and albumen prints. The process is available today but platinum is way beyond my budget to even give it a try.

Swede Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I love the old black and white Hollywood portraits, like this one of Ava Gardner (she also belong to the "beautiful women" thread ). This portrait of photographer Margaret Bourke White is really cool too, she's up on The Chrysler Building taking photos of NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurrell was the man!! This portrait of photographer Margaret Bourke White is really cool too, she's up on The Chrysler Building taking photos of NYC. That's a great shot. I've always wanted to take a pic from that same spot. The interior of the Chrysler Building is also a work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I like this one. It's really cool. Many techniques. Rule of 3rd's, leading lines, good black and white contrast, single subject informal and tis is an amazing panning shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look bored and tired and want to go home. and this is an amazing panning shot. Reminds me of David Douglas Duncan's war photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
