only the greatest photographers have a portfolio of magazine covers
from http://www.art-dept.com/artists/mccurry/ and http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php The portfolio of Steve McCurry is awesome and amazing. He is or was a photographer for National Geographic Magazine I requested permission twice by email to both websites, and haven't heard a thing from them...Wednesday, April 7, 2010

One of the most impressive photos I've seen, the Oct 1895 Granville-Paris Express wreck
The engine careened across almost 98 ft of the station concourse, crashed through a 2 foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 33 ft below, where it stood on its nose. All on board the train survived, five sustaining injuries: two passengers (out of 131), the fireman and two conductors; however, one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry. The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time. A conductor incurred a 25 franc penalty and the engine driver a 50 franc penalty.Via: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895.jpg
