I picked this image by Harold Edgerton because the picture was captured at the perfect moment and it must have taken many tries. Edgerton worked for years to perfect his milk drop shots. He finally captured this image in a lab at MIT. He made a milk dropping machine and turned on a store light and camera sensor to take shots at high intervals. Harold has taken many other high-speed photographs like balloons popping and gun shots.

I like this picture because its full of suspense. These 11 men are extremely calm for being 840 feet above manhattan. The picture symbolizes resilience and ambition.

I like this picture because its kind of strange and you don't really know whats going on. Mao Zedong is seen swimming in the Yangtze river at age 72. He wanted to show China that he was still in good health at that age.

I chose this picture because you can imply how much damage was done with that big of a cloud. The explosion sent a cloud of radioactive dust and debris 45,000 feet into the air. This picture by Lieutenant Charles Levy was the only shot that showed the full scale of the mushroom.

This picture caught my eye because it is very unique. Normally hippos swim in inland rivers and lakes but in this picture they are riding waves in the Atlantic ocean. This photo inspired the president of Gabon to set up a system of nature parks that cover 11% of the country insuring the wildlife have somewhere to live.
