Red Window by Steven Bley
Madeleine Fessard et son modèle pour sa sculpture ” La dame à la biche”, 1930
Ordinary people. The courage to say no.
The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowd, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labor for marrying a Jewish woman.
We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.

At the end of a street in Brooklyn, I discovered a castle.
By the door there was a rope, with a sign that said “Pull.” So I did.
This man came out, and explained his mathematical theory of the universe.

Cloudsplosions by Joschi Herczeg and Daniele Kaehr
Synchronizing a camera with a custom-built detonator, the duo of Herczeg and Kaehr were able to freeze the exact moment of mid-asplosion in every day, mundane settings, creating these solemn, peaceful looking clouds that seem to be gently rolling through an apartment.

James Dean with his gift from Elizabeth Taylor, a kitten he named Marcus.
I think he loved that kitten and was as close to that kitten as anything else in life.
