the last one, #58, is awesome.

Pretty great stuff there.

It makes you think, of all the millions of people who own a camera and how many random images are taken every year, we get these 58. I wonder what those odds are?

The Kung Fu squirrel at the end is just awesome!!!!

Wow, they really kept the best for last.

It's interesting how the pictures improved "technically" over the years, though in some cases the main subject was still out of focus (Haitian child looting, for example).

I think the OOF subjects kind of add to the chaos of the setting... not necessarily a bad thing. I also thought the king-fu squirrel was amazing.

I'm only at 8 out of 59 pictures right now and I am loving the photos with the sentences on the side so far. Nice find.

The pics are almost all awesome, but those ninja squirrels are hilarious!

Extremely emotive images there.
Most of these look like they'd been taken by P&S cams.
Just awesome.

some incredible and brutal photos for sure. a few were really heart wrenching. the one with the nuclear power plant and the rainbow looks like it could have come out of the gate-fold of a Pink Floyd album. the one with the croc that bit off the vets arm.... man that's one hell of a photo right there. and to know it was reattached! that would make for a great story for grandchildren and what have you.
