LAURENT NIVALLE PHOTOGRAPHY 2012 WILD RUBIS concept car Ferrari magazine Le Mans Classic 2010 - Colors Laure de Sagazan 2013 Jeff Harris: a life in pictures Since January 1, 1999, Jeff Harris has documented his life day-by-day, photo-by-photo—and he hasn’t let a debilitating bout with cancer stop the slideshow. It all began as a way of counting down to a new millennium. Starting on Jan. 1, 1999, as a sort of Y2K project, Toronto photographer Jeff Harris thought it would be interesting to take a snap of himself, or his surroundings, every day for an entire year. “My grandmother was born in 1900,” says Harris. 8caliber Inspiration #Photography #Fashion #Portrait #Black and White #Studio #United States #Richard Avedon

Untitled Document THE BIGGER PICTURE Nick Ut recalls the Events of June 8, 1972 by Horst Fass and Marianne Fulton By 1972 most U.S. helicopter units had left Vietnam. It had become more difficult for reporters to reach the isolated areas where South Vietnamese troops, often surrounded by communist guerrillas and regular north Vietnamese soldiers, were fighting. It was a time when AP photographers had to travel the dangerous roads leading out of Saigon, Danang or Pleiku towards areas where fighting took place. At dawn of June 8, 1972, about 5 AM, photographer Nick Ut loaded his camera gear, field survival kit, flak-jacket and steel-helmet into one of the AP's Japanese made minibuses (the AP correspondents called them 'command modules') parked outside the Eden Building, where the AP's Saigon office was.
