I wanna know what hell this guy did?!

alright so in the very top pic whats up with the guys face being all blurred out in the front row.. it reminds me of the ring and he scares me..

The exposure for those types of cameras was longer so you had to sit still for a couple of seconds. If you move at all it would get blurry.

My grandfather, who fought in WWII has a picture that really explains war.

Actually, it's two pictures... and if I had them on me, I'd scan and post them.

The first picture is him and his Sergeant sitting in a bar, right before he got shipped out for the first time. The Sergeant looks tired and weathered, and my grandfather looks young and has a big smile.

The next picture is of him in the same bar, the same place, but a after he's returned from combat. The Sergeant is someone else, and my grandfather looks years and years older. There is no more smile, and now he has that same tired and weathered look.

It's always been my favorite set of war pictures... very dramatic.

I think that pic is a still from a movie, but which one, I can't recall..

I stole about 5 or 6 of these for desktop backgrounds. Thank you for a freakin' awesome post.

some of those show you true emotions. pretty awsome. i'm glad they had photographers follow them around. it paid off.
