:: Thomas J. Abercrombie ::

Thomas J. Abercrombie <-- In keeping with the photo-journalist theme we have going here, it's only right that I bring up one of my favorites who passed away recently. Known for putting his own life at risk to get the perfect shot, Abercrombie's exploits became the stuff of legend. For 40 years he shot photos for National Geographic and became the first reporter to visit the South Pole. In 2004 a movie was made documenting his life and career. White Tiger was shown at the New York Film Festival in 2004. You can watch a trailer here.

Anthony Suau <-- I'm loving these photos essays with sound lately. This one lacks music and is a little drawn out, but I think it's still fairly well done.
"For 10 years following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, TIME contract photographer Anthony Suau has traveled the lands of the former Soviet bloc. ..Suau documents in stark detail the people of that region as they shed their former skin and head into an unknown future."
