“I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?” (Clint Eastwood) From the beginning of wars, hunting, and sport, man has striven to find the most powerful and sufficient caliber for the handiest gun around, the hand
Capa started the cooperative photo agency known as Magnum. Magnum was born because of a struggle between photojournalists and magazines. Magazines were constantly taking advantage of photographers. Magnum was established to end this by having its members band together as a group and establish strict guidelines for magazine payment and usage rights. Magnum represents only its members and its members stand behind one another. Over the years Magnum has evolved into kind of an elite club. I believe it
photojournalism. In 1980, the W. Eugene Smith fund was founded to promote humanistic photography to carry on his legacy (Magnum Photos). This fund showed a change in the photography world due to W. Eugene Smith, and his nontraditional methods in photography.

Immediately, Inspector Callahan exits the restaurant, pulls out his 44 magnum and starts walking towards the bank when he sees an African American male in a purple shirt holding a shot gun and trying to get away in the brown ford parked beside the street.

Art according to the Webster’s dictionary,” art: works created by artists: paintings, sculptures, etc. that are created to be beautiful or to express important ideas or feelings.” Art can be beautiful, confusing, offensive, and stir emotions in people one may not anticipate. The question that one may ask is, “How does one determine what art is?” Art is to one person different to someone else. Art is subjective to anyone’s beliefs, styles, and opinions. Graffiti is a great example of this unanswered

“I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.” In this essay I aim to address the question how does Sebastiao Salgardo’s activist photography reflect against media journalism? I will be looking into a brief history of the movement of activist photography and will also looking into Sebastian’s background. I believe that Salgardo paints a true picture of what is going on in the country’s around the world, he visits
The Aging of Hamlet "Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are" Milton I Read Hamlet the other day. It had changed considerably since I last read it. Hamlet himself was somewhat thinner, I thought; but he had also mellowed considerably; he was rather less cynical and a little more tolerant than he had been. Polonius was definitely more senile than before. Ophelia was less silly, and more of a pathetic
“The true test of the greatness of a work of art is its ability to be understood by the masses.” The statement "The true test of the greatness of a work of art is its ability to be understood by the masses;" is highly problematic. Art in itself has an ambiguous definition that combines concepts of aesthetics and personal emotion. When one thinks of art, it becomes clear that the definition of art is too abstract. Art can be anything from cavepaintings to heiroglypics and pottery. Does this
In 1997, a group of college kids gave birth to something that would become a world renowned phenomenon, Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike is an online, team based, first person shooter. In this game, the two teams (terrorists and counter-terrorists) face off against one another using various team-specific weapons and attempt to gain victory by completing team specific objectives. The counter-terrorists must rescue hostages, protect V.I.P.’s, and protect bomb sites from the terrorists. While the
Police do use lethal weapons against threats, but what do they use when a riot breaks out, they use non-lethal weapons, does it help the problem in hand, does it reduce the crime with riots, or does it stop the riot that is spreading. The background on police using non-lethal weapons is not so great for example the protest in Waco, Texas compound when the FBI using gas to get the people in there out. Turned into everybody in there died including all of the children, nobody came out alive except two
he attended he went the Fireside Lounge in Laramie. There he met McKinney and Henderson who drove Shepard to a secluded area where they beat and tortured him. In the autopsy “Shepard was struck 19 to 21 times in the head with the butt of a .357-caliber Magnum Smith & Wesson pistol” (Marsden 3). After Henderson and McKinney robbed him, they tied him to a fence and left him for dead. Approximately 18 hours later Shepard was found and rushed to the hospital. He lived for six more days until he “succumbed
men as stereotypically thought of as strong, rich, loud, and as womanizers. They are often associated with violence. Nasar would be a prime example of this because in his closet he has a “Mannlicher Schoenauer, 30-.06 rifle, a .300 Holland & Holland Magnum rifle, a .22 Hornet with a double-powered telescopic sight, and a Winchester repeater.” (Marquez 5). This is ironic because even with a multitude of weapons Nasar ends up dead. The irony of this highlights Marquez’s criticism of the violence aspect
in the army but they kicked him out because of his alcohol problem. He also spent time in the hospital but was kicked out for the same issue. Dahmer then moved in with his grandmother and this is where things got strange. His grandmother found a .357 magnum gun underneath his bed and a male mannequin in his closet. He then continued on with his fixation with dead animals. Dahmer took dead squirrels into his basement, dissected them, and dissolved them with
Krista Lean Price (18), the suspect’s girlfriends, hid the bloody shoes of Henderson and provided the suspects with alibis. Shepard’s shoes, coat and credit card were found in McKinney’s pick-up truck; his wallet was found in McKinney’s home. A .357 Magnum was also found in McKinney’s home (Matthew Shepard, 2000 [on-line]). On April 5, 1999, 22 year old, Aaron McKinney was found guilty of felony murder, second-degree murder, kidnapping and robbery. 21 year old, Russell Henderson pled guilty to kidnapping
Ryker is a regular guy who knows his surroundings very well, something that gives him the edge when it comes to tracking down the criminals. He works by himself, unless you count the snub nose .38 police special that he keeps on his ankle, and the .357 Magnum that is on his shoulder. Joe Ryker is about as unlikable as they come. Nowhere in the series, however, does DeMille, say that Ryker is the hero here in the series of novels. He seems to be an antagonist in the protagonist 's role. No one in the
