Lugsters,

Although I have been far removed from documentary photography
for more years than I care to admit, tonight, I happened onto 
a set of 10 photographs that are so clear cut and cohesive in
portraying the author's theme, I was taken back and my vigor 
renewed. Reminded again of the awesome power potential of the
still image to evoke emotion, thought, and sometimes action.  

Although the theme itself has shock value, the photogs 
delivery is what's special here.  WPO overall winner I think!

I'm unfamiliar with this Italian photographer, but he has a new 
fan!  Be sure to read the short and extremely well written
summary under the photo.

Apologies if someone has already posted this... a must see 
for sure!

There are many good photographers on this list, and I would be
interested to know how some of you feel about this imagery if 
time permits.

Thanks,  

Montie
