Wow! Harry Potter is so not some geeky wizard boy anymore! Who knew he had some freak in him! Those were definitely my first reactions after seeing this picture. Harry Potter, whose real name is Daniel Radcliff, naked, sitting on a horse. I hope this is not an advertisement for the next Harry Potter movie!

After calming down, and actually reading the article, I learned that this is a photograph taken by world renowned photographer Annie Leibowitz for Vogue magazine. Leibowitz, for those not familiar with her work, she took that controversial picture of Miley Cyrus that was on the cover of Vanity Fair. She is an innovator that likes to take risks, and produces amazing pictures.

As for Daniel Radcliff, the article explains that he is in the play EQUUS which is starting up in New York City, after getting great reviews in London. So why the nudity? Radcliff appears fully nude in parts of the show. After reading the article, the picture is a perfect fit.

I saw this picture and immediately noticed the sadness in the man's eyes. The photograph was taken in front of white concrete, so I expected that he must be in jail for some crime. His eyes project an almost acceptance of his fate. Calm, despite the chaos that prison is.

After reading the article, it turns out this man was found guilty for a 1989 killing of an off-duty police officer in Jackson, Georgia. Awaiting his execution, this photo gives a glimpse of his state of mind as the dead line approaches. A mere two hours before his death sentence was to be carried out, CNN played on the television in his cell. Breaking news announced that Davis's sentence had been reprieved. The U.S. Supreme Court's issued the repeal just in time. Supporters had been gathered outside, and when the announcement reached them cheers and thanks to god were heard. Davis escaped what must have appeared certain death, only two hours separating him from finality.

This photograph caught my attention right away, I thought to myself what happened? The car is smashed up and the photo is a close up of the driver side door. I thought to myself it must of been bad because the man is covering his mouth. I think the man is in shock of what just took place or what he is looking at. This accident or wreck looks like it took place in a different country. I assume this because of the mans vest, it doesn't look like something a paramedic would wear in the U.S.
After reading the article, it's about a young Palestinian man who drove BMW into a group of Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem. Two victims were seriously injured and 13 sustained non life threating injuries. The driver was shot and killed by one of the Israeli soldiers in the group. The article states that this is the third time since July a vehicle was used as a weapon in Jerusalem. It's sad that things have to come to this. If you have time give it a read.

When I first saw this photo, I thought gas prices are going down, people are waiting in line because that station had the lowest prices. What happens to be the case is that there is a gas shortage in Atlanta Georgia, and everyone is scrambling to fill up their tanks because some gas stations are running out of gas. It makes you realize that people do take driving for granted and when gas is disappearing people wont know what to do if they cant drive. What do you think?
