Today I decided that I would do some research on pictures that have always crossed my mind and my path. My picture of the day is of Marilyn. I am such a big Marilyn fan and this is one of my fave pictures. So I had to look into who the photographer is.
Drum roll please::::: The photographer is Alfred Eisenstaedt. Come to find out he is also the photographer of another famous photo that always seems to show up everywhere.
Can you believe this two very famous pictures ironically by the same photographer. I was actually going to talk about this photo in a future post. Alfred Eisenstaedt was a German photographer and photojournalist he is well known for his candid shots though. Eisenstaedt had witnessed many things in his photographic life. He photographed a meeting between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in Italy. He even photographed Robert Kennedy. He, himself, is an important part of history and I suggest that you look into his many historic and beautiful images.

Vega
Photo journalism at its best.Can you believe those two men are holding back what seems to be hundreds? And for what reason? the injustice in this world has me at a lost for words. But looking at the photographer,Omar Vega is quite exceptional. To be at this place at the perfect time is quite amazing.He actually won an award for this image. It says that he is actually based in South Florida at the moment but i think he originates from San Francisco. The facts are unclear lol but check out his great line of pics on his site www.thevegavision.com

Jana
Photos by:Jana Stolzer
Yet again another photographer I cannot find any info on :( Her work is really amazing and sort of eerie. I feel like they could be scenes in a horror film.I really like the one of the girl in the room seems that she is trapped and her imprint is left in every spot she has touched or punched. Her pictures are chilling.
Be sure to look more into her work.

emotion II
Photo by: Santosh Korthiwada
I decided to make this emotion part II. You can just feel the pain in his eyes, isn't crazy how your eyes can say so much! I'm going to Haiti tomorrow for my grandfather's funeral, l'll be there for the week. I felt this picture kinda captures what I am feeling (sigh)
Let me tell you what i know about the photographer who captured this amazing shot. Santosh Korthiwada is from Hyderabad, India. all his pictures take place in India. He has hundreds of photos and all of them are so intriguing. you should definitely look into him.

This picture is just amazing. Sad thing is the photographer is unknown. This piece is just so wow. I'm at a lost for words it seems to be taken at the perfect moment. What I don't know is, is this person really attemptin to fly like the birds? I dont know the outcome, but this picture had me speechless.

Shazeen Samad
Shazeen Samad feel like I should whisper it, lol. He did the photo that I put for my quote of certainty. I had to find out more about him. Funny thing is, I still don't know much about him. Seems to be no info on him that I can find. I found endless photos of his work and I mean what better way to have yourself explained but through your work. His name and photos seem to be enough to spark my interest and probably tons of others.

liquid
The person who has caught my attention at the moment is Stefan Chinof. He is a Bulgarian designer who also deals with illustration, typography, and advertising. the mixture of all these things create such amazing pieces filled with vibrant colors and movement. His liquid illusions are just brilliant.
.....
trying to figure out who to cover next....there are just so many possibilities.....hmmm....stay tuned.
