Some wonderful photos. Beckett means so much to me, so that photo has always had an electric quality beyond the stare, the wonderful face and the stunning capture.
Kids jumping on mattresses. I remember playing on a building site when I was young but not to this level! Also the creepy doll?? This photo has so much going on!
Fabulous post. I'd say McCullin's 'Thousand Yard Stare' makes my list. Lee Miller in Hitler's Bath ... interesting at so many levels. I think the event that, for me, perhaps because of the consequent impact on my military career, spawned so many impossible-to-forget images was 9/11 ... this gallery just about covers it https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2021/09/us/9-11-photos-cnnphotos/
Fascinating post and one that really prompts some thought. B
You and I have exchanged comments on one or two of these before Andrew, and I share your admiration for Jane Bowen and Tish Murtha, who of course did a lot of her work in and around the area in which I now live. While I don't have your 'eye' I'll take up your challenge in my Substack post of next week. 😊
I'd choose, among b&w photos, a Margaret Bourke-White photo ("There's no way like the American way!") and for sure one from Robert Frank's "The Americans". And Bruce Davidson too. Well, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau too (I know, I'm not very original). But it's a very hard choice.
Some amazing photos here ...
this is awesome!

So rad. Thanks for the future journal inspiration! Loved seeing the familiar & unfamiliar favorites of yours :-)

Good stuff, Andrew! What a fun post.
