"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough."

Sometimes when I'm bored I like to go to the magnum photos site and pick a photographer and fiddle through his/her portfolio. Magnum was created in part by Robert Capa in the 40s. Along with the portfolios you can check out some of the photo essays compiled on the site. They also post blogs from some of the photographers talking about some of the pictures they've made, their history, some of the intimate details and tidbits from certain assignments. It's pretty cool and interesting to hear what was going on in some of their heads while making certain pictures.
