Not P.I...Some of you may know the photography agency Magnum is 60 years old this year. I'd heard of them but didn't know who they were until a week ago. I've just been looking through some of their photos, there were some amazing shots I can't find online in Amateur Photographer magazine, but here are some of my favourites, not only do I think they have amazing composition, but they all tell a story and there's so much to think about...
AbbasG.B. NORTHERN IRELAND. Belfast. A wall crumbles down after having been set on fire, presumably by the IRA.
Villagers collecting scrap from a crashed spacecraft, surrounded by thousands of white butterflies. Environemntalists fear for the region's future due to the toxic rocket fuel. By Jonas Bendiksen, Russia, 2000

Sao Paulo by Rene Burri, Brazil, 1960

Loads of stark, depressing, but amazing war images amongst them.
