Napoléon Bonaparte won the vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. He is considered one of the greatest commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured as one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history. Napoléon's final defeat was the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Even after his death in 1821, the surviving soldiers of Grande Armée revered his historic leadership. Each year on May 5, the anniversary of Napoléon's death, the veterans marched to Paris' Place Vendôme in full uniform to pay respects to their emperor. These photographs were taken on one of these occasions, possibly in 1858. All the men — at this time in their 70s and 80s — are wearing the Saint Helena medals, issued in August 1857 to all veterans of the wars of the revolution and the empire. These are the ...

Ian and Erick Regnard are two Australian brothers who have created a stunning series of underwater nudes. What makes the images even more remarkable is that they shot the series on large format 4x5 Polaroid film.  In 2010  one of their underwater Polaroid nudes won them International Photographer of the year in the "Special Category".  I think it was well deserved.  I especially love the images of the dancing stingrays with nude model - Simply stunning!

Jimmy Nelson's work has taken him from war-torn Afghanistan, Pakistan and the former Yugoslavia to the remotest corners of China and Tibet. But in 2009, the British photographer outdid even himself when he embarked upon a four-year trek around the world—cutting through Amazonian jungles, braving freezing temperatures in Siberia and even surviving a case of meningitis in Ethiopia—to photograph some of the world’s last indigenous tribes. [via Ralph Lauren ] Nelson documented 55 cultures and tribes, many of which are at risk of disappearing forever, often in remote parts of the world, using a 50-year-old 4x5 camera. His book,  Before They Pass Away ,is a collection of the images he made on his epic journey. Jimmy Nelson Jimmy Nelson A Maasai warrior.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ( 1832 -1898)   better known as “Lewis Carroll,” author of   Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ,  took up the then new art-form of photography in 1856. Over 3000 photographs were taken by Dodgson, but only 1000 have survived due to the passage of time and deliberate destruction. Fifty percent of Dodgson’s surviving work is of young girls, but he also photographed skeletons, dolls, dogs, families, statues and trees. Charles Dodgson quit photography in 1880 because he thought keeping a running studio was too difficult and time-consuming. “You, I suppose, dream photographs,”  ~  Alfred, Lord Tennyson describing Charles Dodgson  Eliza D.
