Great Black and White Photographers

Imogene Cunningham- Succulent

Harry Callahan- Eleanor

Munich Massacre 1.) This image caught my eye because it was just really creepy and sinister. 2.) The 1972 Olympics were held in Munich Germany, and to create an atmosphere of peace and welcoming, security was lax. Unfortunately, the Palestinian terrorist group Black September killed two team members and took nine hostages, demanding for the release of their group members in jail. This photo was taken as one of the terrorists came out on a balcony, shortly after, all hostages were killed as German snipers attempted to take out the group members. 3.) The 2016 olympics was the first olympics that honored the 11 victims of the massacre. 4.) 5.) Kurt Strumph Germany
