Hendrix is a rad one. Coloradohigh is an obvious 'whithey-hater', commie. But whatever.

One from our time is the Marine Corpsman cradling a girl to get her to an aid station in Iraq after terrorists chose some collateral damage.

Read the story here;
http://www.michaelyon-online.com/little-girl.htm

Photo Credit: Michael Yon, retired Green Beret and independent war correspondent. He does really good work. Google him.

Heart-wrenching image knowing that the little girl didn't make it. And may she rest in God's arms now...

Notice the Marine's embrace trying to comfort her to the aid station. Tear-jerker image. Especially juxaopposed to the pic of that pussy Che Guevara. F*#king coward, murderer.

Meh...

EDIT: that Stannard pic is awesome!

Yon's is possibly the most arresting of this early century.

This Robert Wiles possibly from the last one.




On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. 'He is much better off without me ... I wouldn't make a good wife for anybody,' ... Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale's death Wiles got this picture of death's violence and its composure.

Ansel Adam's image of Georgia O'Keefe and guide. I love the expressions on both of their faces.

Just from the photo, you can tell that she really knew how to have a good time.

Coloradohigh is an obvious 'whithey-hater' [sic], commie. But whatever.

Thanks for further confirmation.


Bluering [bloo ring] noun: an ignorant, maudlin reactionary.

I love that picture Todd--about $20.00 in aluminum and $10.00 actual value in beer, but who has the tougher foot gear?
