1. This image caught my eye because it is a lot more vibrate than some of the other images. I also really like photo of the wilderness and to here stories about different species of animals.
2. The description underneath the image talks about photographer Michael Nichols and his travels to Africa. The summary includes details of how the photographer came about the hippos, and how uncommon it is to see them swimming in the ocean. The image brought awareness to human's destruction of wilderness and in turn influenced people to build more national parks.
3. Attached is a link of Michael Nichols talking about his secrets behind capturing the beautiful photograph.

Photo 2: Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston
1. This image caught my eye because of the strength of Muhammad Ali that is captured.
2. Neil Leifer was a photographer for sports illustrated, his job was to capture a good photo of Muhammad Ali for the magazine. Leifer was able to capture a great photo of Muhammad Ali defeating his opponent of the night, 34 year old Sonny Liston. This photo was praised for the way it captured how strong and poetic Muhammad Ali was.
3. There is an additional video attached that describes how historic the Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston fight was. There are many additional images of crowds of thousands of people getting ready to watch the championship fight. This gives additional information on the history behind the photo and why it is considered to be one of the best of all time.

Photo 4: Famine in Somalia
1. This image caught my eye because of insanely thin the two women in the image are. It's pretty disturbing and I chose it so that I could learn more about it.
2. James Nachtwey desperately wanted to go to Somalia to capture images of how disrupt and damaged Somalia was. He could not find anyone to hire him to go so he decided to go by himself. He then brought back very saddening images that helped to bring awareness to the situation and in turn influencing charities to help donate and try to bring peace back to Somalia.
3. Attached is a video of the story behind James Hatchway's Somalia photos. It described why Somalia was in such a great famine and why James wanted to go to capture theses haunting images.

Photo 5: Falling Man
1. This image caught my eye because it is a photo of someone falling to their death, and I was interested to know more about the history behind it.
2. The summary following the photo talks about how it was taken the day of the 9/11 attacks. It also talks about how the image captures the tragedy and the desperateness that people felt on that day. The man in the image is unknown but the image depicts an overall meaning of the uncertain war and destruction that America was in.
3. There is an attached documentary short that describes the tragedy of 9/11 and how the photo of The Falling Man came to be. The documentary shows me a part of 9/11 that I had not even known about, all the people that were so desperate to escape the burning towers that they decided to jump out and plummet to their death.
