The spray of bullets here is a force of erosion, like wind or water.

This is not necessarily the best photo I have ever seen but it reminds me of one of the things that I love about photography. Photography has the ability to freeze a split second in time, often allowing us to see things that the naked eye wouldnt normally catch.

I can't tell you how many times I have woken up and said, "Hummm......what shall I wear today. Oh I know, I will wear my ashtray hat."

Sometimes the best color photographs are those that are mostly monochromatic. The tiny umbrellas at the bottom of the frame make this picture. Less is more.

The concept of roadside attractions, turned on its ear. Instead of folks traveling to see Rambo, it came to them for one unique day.

I like the juxtaposition of traditional and modern in this frame. The right side of the image seems hundreds of years distant from the left side.

There's a joke here somewhere...

President Bush's photo ops are so tightly controlled that it's rare when a photographer catches him looking "non-presidential". It's nice to see this side of him captured once in a while.

This looks strangely relaxing. It reminds me of the bee sting treatment picture you can find if you go way, way deeper into Photoblog.

My back hurts just looking at this picture! It is hard to believe the human body is that flexible.

If I had known that I could get this kind of lovin' for just riding a bicycle, I might have thought twice before I pursued photography as a career.

Sometimes its just not worth getting up in the morning. Its bad enough to sink the boat, but to have the lettering be the only part of the boat sticking out of the water. Now, thats a tough break. My heart goes out to Andrew.

This photo immediately caught my eye because I thought it was a photo of Diana when she was alive, but it's just a photo of her hanging on a wall. Interesting.

I connected instantly when I saw this image from a series of Meneghinis work from El Salvador. Out of his series of prostitutes, Vilma is the only woman who has images of Christ hanging above her bed. I wonder what her clients think when they enter her room. The light, feeling, environment and subtle moment are extremely telling of Vilmas life.

Now I don't want to put words in Mr. Monteforte's mouth... or thoughts in his head, but if it were me shooting at the Vatican yesterday and I saw that lone pair of bare arms go up amidst foam hands I would have laid on the shutter and smiled inside. They make the picture. Nice job seeing it Filippo.

At first glance, this looks like a giant spaceship from a Hollywood movie. It's actually a new theater under construction in China called the Eggshell. The reflection and the tiny figures add to this stunning image.

Feel like doing this to your computer sometimes? I guess it's probably better that this motorcycle racer takes his frustrations out on his bike rather than on his mechanic or his dog.

In 2003, Madonna kissed Britney and set the entertainment world on its ear. Pro athletes hug and pat each other on the butt, but same sex kissing is . . . outside the comfort zone. Has the American sports establishment promoted a myth that only heterosexual people play sports? If a macho boxer like Julio Cesar Chavez can kiss his son, what's next?

Ripped from the headlines: "Bush approval back at low point" - "Bush is greeted warmly in Albania." I guess the President needs to cultivate friends wherever he can find them.

Great juxtaposition. Dramatic light. Dramatic event. Nice.

OK, so if we take this idea a few steps further, how far are we from seeing people - regular, average citizens - sell advertising space on across their chests? Or other body parts?

I can't help but think of the machine's response, in Japanese of course, "would you like fries with that?"

Im struck by the innocent joy and simplicity I see in this photograph. No video games to entertain the children here, though more than enough violence and destruction I think.

Any doubt about global warming? Just kidding, but one of the joys of scrolling the daily wirephotos is finding funny gems like this one.

When I saw this picture the other day, I began to feel very nostalgic. I remember as a little kid staying home from school sick and watching the Price is Right with good ol' Bob Barker. Because lets face it, daytime television is not very good for kids unless they enjoy Days of our Lives. I am sad to see Bob Barker say goodbye, but he did have a pretty good run at it. According to wikipedia the Price is Right is the second longest running game show on television. We will miss you Bob, your giant money wheel where everyone wants the dollar, Plinko, your beauties, and all the good memories that come with you. So remember folks, always have your pets spayed or neutered.
