My kind of Friday morning.

One of the Most Important Photographers that you've maybe never heard of
Until now that is, follow the link for for an excellent shot of "Che". René Burri was born in Zurich in 1933. From 1959, as a member of Magnum Photos, he travelled to the scenes of innumerable world events. "The camera has always been a magic wand for me, giving me access to places where I could try new experiments," Burri has said. He not only captured key moments in history, but also documented daily life in countries such as Brazil, China, Palestine, Vietnam and Germany. His portraits of such celebrated personalities as Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Muhammad Anwar as-Sadat, Le Corbusier and Alberto Giacometti are counted among the iconic images of the 20th century. "Many of the images we remember from the second half of the 20th century are photographs taken by René Burri. http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=42667
Photographer David Maljkovic's best shot
Maljkovic says....
Orson Welles came to Zagreb, where I live, in the early 60s to make
his film of Kafka's The Trial. He came because he couldn't film in
Prague; the political situation there made it impossible. Places like
Czechoslovakia, and even Poland, were completely under Russia's thumb.
But Yugoslavia was different: Tito had split with Stalin in 1948, and
American money had flooded in. .....I deliberately used an archaic technique to make this shot, so
that it felt linked to Welles's film-making process. I took
photographs of the original film frames, and then went to the same
location and took another picture from the same angle. Then I put the
two negatives together, and produced another photograph. It was a
complex process. No labs for processing film exist any more – the
craft is dead – so I did everything myself.... read more @ http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2010/nov/17/david-maljkovic-best-shot
