infamous

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
