Raghu Rai

"Mother Teresa at her refuge of the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta. During prayer." In being aware of Mother Teresa's contributions to others, I think this photo tactfully conveys her devotion to this mission. She appears very at peace with herself and yet so powerful in her thoughts. I like the contrast of this photo and the white vale that could symbolically represent her pure heart. She seems to gain such strength in the power of prayer. I wonder what task she went on to conquer.

"Seattle, Washington. 1953. Members of the Seattle Tubing Society in full float." I just thought this photo was hilarious. Tubing Society? They have those? The guy with umbrella is priceless.
