So, you're big on torture and gang violence, eh?

Is my response supposed to be something other than, "Eat shit?"

If I'm not mistaken, that's what you just requested.

I've been wrong before, though, so don't be offended.

You know, I'm almost certain I've let this rub me the wrong way and get my back up for nothing. I'm pretty sure I've been unfair to you, me3dia. I doubt you meant any insult. I reacted poorly.

I'm sorry.

I was struck by how the child in the bed, the man on the floor, and Pete Townsend are all in virtually the same position, but in different dimensions, on this page. Cool stuff.

Thanks Hugh. nice link

You know, the [woman?] being carried off of the wrecked train seems to be in the same attitude as well. But facing the other direction.

Wild. I didn't even notice that one. I wonder if there's a website devoted to photographs of people in the fetal position? If there isn't, there should be - there's a site devoted to everything else.

What is it about historical photos? They hook me every time, too. There's something inherently fascinating (to me) about documentary photos taken before (or shortly after) the year I was born.

It's hard to imagine that pics taken today will be that interesting 50 years from now. Why is that?

Thanks for the link, Janus.

Thanks, I really like these.

I'm sorry.

No problem, apology accepted. It just struck me funny that those particular photos were the ones that caught your eye -- I wasn't casting any aspersions on your character.

(They have been posted on MeFi before, but no matter.)

Thanks for stopping back in, and again, I didn't mean to be rude, but I guess what set me off was the word "torture" and the fact that the two pictures not related to gang violence were of a funhouse and of Bobby Hull et al after winning the Stanley Cup.

I love photos of action, particularly ones that show impending or further action, like the funhouse one. I like the Blackhawks picture for the expressions of joy, and also (strangely, but understandably) relief on the players' faces. The gangbangers in the third picture are all so tidy, and the photo's composition is like an Edward Hopper painting, sort of.

That's all. Have a good weekend.

A day late, but I wanted to add that I think these are beautiful.
