Magnum has a wonderful set of black and white photographs of the Beatles in remembrance of John Lennon.  It was 30 years ago Dec. 8, 1980 that he was shot by a stalker.  Thanks to Black and White Photography for the heads up on this one.  Are you a fan of the Beatles or John Lennon?

I found myself really drawn to these beach photos.  What do you think?

Here’s a great series of country photos that really tell a story.  When was the last time you went out to the country, or anywhere different really, and tried to tell the story of that place with your camera?

These balloons made me smile, then frown, then smirk, then smile again.  I can have a range of emotions when I drink in a photograph.
