Magnum Photos




Jonas Bendiksen
Russia. Altai Territory.
Villagers collecting scrap from a crashed spacecraft, surrounded by thousands of white butterflies. Environmentalists fear for the region's future due to the toxic rocket fuel.





Perhaps the best agency for popular and star studded photgraphy is Magnum. If you want it, they probably have it. Check their site for some great shots: http://www.magnumphotos.com/


Peter Marlow
Japan.
Shingu-Koza-Kamikura bonfire festival, 200 men run down a mountain with flaming torches and dress in white, in a celebration of "manhood", no women are allowed on the mountain.





Magnum is commorating their 60th anniversary with a great 60-photo show (1 per year) which spans the gamut from heart breaking to beautiful to stunning.

Inge Morath
USA. Nevada. Reno.
Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe were already separated but nevertheless worked together on "The Misfits".
You can view all 60 - and many more besides, by going to see the Magnum festival:
