I passed over this image at first glance, but then going backed over it I was surprised to find a man in the center of the fire. This photo was taken in 1963 by photographer, Malcolm Browne. He was assigned to photograph the Buddhist protests of President Ngo Dinh. I learned that Browne began to rapidly take photos after he realized what was happening to help deal with the horror of what was happening. The photo below is another one of Brownes sad photos.
Malcolm Browne was born on April 17, 1931 in New York, NY and died on August 27, 2012. He attended Swarthmore College.

This was the first photo my eyes went to when I opened the website. I was attracted to the beautiful color and how the milk looked frozen in mid air. This photo was taken in a lab at MIT (my sister goes there!) by Professor Harold Edgerton. This photo was taken with the earliest version of modern day camera flash. Edgerton wanted to capture blink-and-you-missed-it moments in one photo.
Harlod Edgerton was born on April 6, 1903 in Fremont, NE and died on January 4, 1990. He attended MIT and the University of Nebraska.

I recognized this photo from a past movie i have seen, but I love how spontaneous and romantic this photo is. This was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in 1945 right after World War II ended. His mission was to find and capture the storytelling moment for LIFE magazine. His photo captured the immense joy of that day and how the people celebrated it.
Alfred Eisenstaedt was born on December 6, 1989 in Tczew, Poland and died on August 23, 1990. He attended Humboltd University of Berlin.

This photo caught my eye because of how powerful it is. It tells a story with no words and I think that is an amazing thing to capture. This is a photograph of Muhammad Ali in 1945 in a boxing match against Sonny Liston. It was taken by photographer Neil Lefer who took the only color photograph of that moment of victory. I learned that another photographer took the exact same photo, but in black and white.
Neil Lefer was born on December 28, 1943 in New York City, NY and is still living. He attended Henry Street Settlement when he was young and studied photography.

This image caught my eye because of the striking color that makes it look almost computer generated. This photo was taken on April 1, 1995 by the Hubble Space Telescope. It was one of the first photos of the universe and the image is so breathtaking, it became known as The Pillars of Creation. The Pillars might look small in the photograph, but they are actually over 30 trillion miles long.
The Hubble went into space in 1990 and was repaired in 1993, but it began to work in 1995. The telescope, created by NASA, is still in use today.
