European Fields
The Landscape of Lower League Football
Beautiful photos by Hans van der Meer. The fourth one (Marsielle, France) made me think, "Wow, that's a gigantic penalty area."

The Photos of Stephane Fugier
These are some wild photos. None involve the vice president shooting bystanders
NSFW
Ghetto-fab
He's rockin' the fake fur with style, but what you don't see is the best knock-it-all-out-in-one-go neck tattoo evar.
Every One
Yep, I'd say that pretty much covers it.

Photographing Saddam
Saddam Hussein was omnipresent in Baghdad. It was hard to ignore Saddam's stern face looking down from billboards, statues, memorial plaques, festive paintings and colorful mosaics. The starting gun went off for the desecration of Hussein's image during the first week in April when Iraqis pulled down his statue that was in front of the Palestine Hotel. Within a few days, most portraits in town were damages or at least partly defaced. When I arrives in Baghdad on Sunday, April 13, I immediately started to photograph the Saddam series. The first two days I documented most of the portraits. A week later, most of them were already gone. History. - Teun Voeten

Going against the flow
Picuruta Salazar rides the "Pororoca," a wave that flows upstream and reaches a height of 4 meters on the world's second longest river, the Amazon, in Brazil, in this undated photo. The Pororoca happens every year between February and March when the ocean whips back on the heavily drained Amazon and creates a giant swell that flows upstream for hundreds of miles. Salazar, a Brazilian, rode the dirty brown wave for 37 minutes, traveling 12 kilometers through the rainforest.

Argentina Grocery
Val and Jeff went to Argentina and marvelled at the advancements in liquid-refreshment grocery-stocking techinques.
Although she will claim otherwise, I've heard that Val took the missing bottle of "minerva" off the shelf "just to fuck with them."

TABLOID PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE LOS ANGELES HERALD EXPRESS (1936-1961)
An exhibition curated by Diane Keaton for the Los Angeles Public Library September 1999
The captions are almost as good as the photography:
Maybe, just maybe, everything will turn out all right and Karen Tompkins, 11, missing since Friday, will find her way back to safety; but perhaps, authorities say, it is too much to hope.

Green eyed girl found
Nearly two decades after National Geographic first put the haunting picture of an eleven-year-old green-eyed Afghan girl on its cover making it the most recognised photograph in its 114-year-history, the magazine has located her again in remote Afghanistan.
Sharbat Gula is now 29, married with three children, and lives with her family. She was first photographed in December 1984 by Geographic's acclaimed lensman Steve McCurry, an old India hand, in Pakistan's Nasir Bagh refugee camp. Her penetrating green eyes and poignant gaze has long intrigued the world and the photograph became a metaphor for unwanted refugees, particularly since she was never seen again.

Kabul photo essay
At first I mis-read this caption, thinking it was a class on constructing mines, as in the "go down into and pull minerals out of the earth" kind of a mine.
Nope, that's a chart of really nasty little surprises that like to very quickly remove your legs from the rest of your body.
