Three Pictures

This photo was shot by Alfred Eisenstaedt. He also took this photo and although it is much more famous, I really like this one, too. Eisenstaedt is famous for his spontaneous WWII photos. Part of the spontaneity behind his work is that the individuals were never named, so this couple still goes unknown, as far as I am aware. There's something really cool about being insanely famous and not having any idea about it.

This fireman saved the doberman from a house fire. There is so much genuine emotion behind this thank you and its all caught in an instantaneous moment on film. So sweet. Also - I stumbled upon this photo from a forwarded email from my mother back in 2005 (when forwarding email chains were still slightly acceptable...). It just goes to show you how you can find good art, good stories and good inspiration anywhere.

Who knew a multi-colored afghan and a one-piece red swimsuit could continue to defy the standards of sexy in modern society. This photo catapulted  Farrah Fawcett to fame, but was just a spontaneous moment that was set-up by total accident at the photo shoot that particular day. It's a natural photograph from top to bottom and really captures the spirit of something beautiful.
