    Just curious, any backstory to this? Remove spaces to see what I mean. It's basically the picture right below Ghandi with the feet and heads.

    Stanley Kubrick.
    Many people don't realize that he was a photographer for Look Magazine in the 1940s before becoming a film director in the 1950s.
    A lot (not all) of his 'street photos' were totally staged. Guess he always had a flair for drama.

    Additional recommendations: to visit Aaron's website, to view his presentation at TED a few seasons since past,
    and to admire the poignancy of his communion with the Lakota.

    Michael Tighe lives in Los Angeles. He grew up in Manhattan, New York City.

    If you care to know more...
    Started shooting formal portraits as a teenager and began working professionally at 18. After graduating high school in 1973 I studied with famed portrait photographers Philippe Halsman and Arnold Newman, major influences in my early work.

    The mid 70s started shooting regularly for Andy Warhol’s INTERVIEW Magazine, where my career took flight. From that came lots of fashion work and more magazines... GQ, Harpers Bazaar, French and Italian Vogue, Rolling Stone, Spin, New York, Esquire, Newsweek, Premiere, Entertainment Weekly.

    I had a lot of $ucce$$ early on. And to keep things interesting, started shooting heroin. Made a mess of my life. Lost everything (boo-hoo), ending up broke & homeless. It took a while, but got my act together (kind of) and started all over again.

    Moved to Los Angeles in 1991 shooting mostly in the entertainment business and in that mostly in the movie business.

    Stopped shooting professionally in 2004 for a variety of reasons. Mostly because I needed a break from it and there were other creative pursuits I wanted to devote myself to.

    2012 I have started shooting again "professionally". Loving it more now than I can ever remember. So the break did me good. And to keep things interesting, I'm putting together a one man show for the stage, showing off my photographs and telling the story of my life as a celebrity photographer over the past thirty plus years. It's been quite a ride.

    “the world is as terrible as it is beautiful, but when you look more closely, it is as beautiful as it is terrible.”
    Richard Misrach --(Photography by: attributed)

    Desert Fire #249, 1985

    Details about the author
    Richard Misrach has enjoyed a reputation as a trailblazer in contemporary photography since the 1970s. He was one of the first artists to explore the possibilities of large-scale color prints and one of the first to focus his politicized art on modern society’s irresponsible behavior toward our natural environment. The combination of these innovations led to his longest standing project, the beautiful and angry "Desert Cantos" series, which has engaged him for practically his entire career.

    His “cultural landscape” art, as it is often termed, has taken on military despoliation of nature (in 1986–87’s "Bravo 20: The Bombing of the American West") and industrial pollution (in "Cancer Alley," which he made in 1998) with palpable social engagement. His newest book, the 20-by-16-inch technical tour-de-force On the Beach, recently published by Aperture, heralds a rather more complex vision of humankind’s place in the natural order. Pictured on the cusp of beach and ocean, the individuals in Misrach’s latest images seem every bit as vulnerable as the world that they occupy. The work is at once more urgent and more poetic as a consequence.


    Examples of Misrach's works

    The thread is for members to post what they like. Not what I like. No worries.

    Thanks for posting.
    But, the idea is to share the work of specific photographers by name.
    Thus the title 'photographers we like.' :)
