The other day, I was watching a documentary about photographer Thomas Hoepker. A big part of the documentary dealt with his work photographing Muhammad Ali in 1966, a really interesting account to hear. The work he does interests me, and inspires me to take more photographs myself. In the documentary, a few images that I've posted below stuck with me. The one from Harlem is incredible, pure gold dust!

The 9/11 photo became a bit controversial, so I good read is Slate's pieces "It's Me in That 9/11 Photo" and "I Took That 9/11 Photo"
