Emilio Morenatti. Photojournalist. Spanish. Pakistan.

Emilio Morenatti's career in photojournalism began in 1992 when he joined the leading Spanish news company Agencia EFE. In 2003, he went to Afghanistan as a correspondent for The Associated Press. While covering the conflict in Gaza City in 2006, he was kidnapped by gunmen before being released a day later. If that wasn't enough, he lost his left foot after being injured by a bomb blast in Afghanistan. The last photo I included is of Emilio on a stretcher, being transfered to a Rehabilitation Hospital for a prosthetic foot. “It is a big challenge now, to do what I used to do every day as much as I can,” Emilio said, “But I am improving every day. I’m running more now than I was before I was wounded.” He continues to work in war zones, documenting the conflict in Gaza and Jerusalem, as well as covering Central Asia for AP. I'm pleased to say that he's just won B.O.P's Photojournalist of 2010 by NPPA-National Press Photographers Association (a contest designed by photojournalists for photojournalists).

Lindsey Thornburg was raised in Aspen Colorado, attended design school in LA, and moved to NY in 2003. She was inspired by the indigenous attire of Peru after visiting Machu Picchu in 2006, and so she created her self-entitled collection.

George Bellows was an American painter who's known for his depictions of urban life in NYC... I love his work of boxers/boxing. "Before 1910, boxing was illegal in New York but nonetheless attracted huge crowds at private matches. People from all walks of life would attend these fights, just like the fighters themselves were of various racial and ethnic groups. Bellows showed a fierce battle between boxers along with the almost bloodthirsty eagerness of the spectators around them. Bellows was also merging classical methods with an excellent knowledge of human physiology to vividly capture the happenings of his own time."
