Just wondered what sort of photographs people felt spoke to them in a particularly special way. One of the pics that's for some reason touched me the deepest is this one, taken by Georg Oddner. It shows an old japanese woman gathering algae on the beach after a particularly powerful storm. There's something wonderfully mystical about it.

I immediately thought of that photo after seeing this thread Arb : ) I recall seeing that photo and then going to used book stores scanning stacks of National Geographic magazines until I found that cover about 20 years ago and framed it. The picture has been made so popular today I didn't bother posting it. One of the best all time and I think voted the #1 National Geographic cover of all time.

Did anyone else read the article about how they went back hunting for her? Fascinating.
