Astronaut Bill Anders took this photo of the Earth rising over the moon's horizon while he and Frank Borman orbited the moon. This shot changed the way the world thinks where the Earth is and it's cosmos. I think it's a beautiful shot. It's also completely different colors than what we think the Earth looks like. Any picture drawn of the Earth, especially in cartoons, is green and a dark blue, this is a dark blue and white. I also loved the texture of the moon and the completely darkness of outer space.

When I look at this photo I see a man kissing a woman he loves. It's a nurse and a solider returning from the World War II, it was after he heard the war had ended. It's an old classic I've seen all around the world and my friend actually has a framed picture of it in her room and I'm very jealous. This picture actually makes me really happy although her body language looks kind of weird when you first look at it, but it also says how nothing else matters expect kissing him, especially since he's holding her. It's like no one else is around. This picture could say a thousand words and is absolutely beautiful.

This album, picture and band is the biggest part of my childhood. I've been listening to them probably since I could breathe. I use to never able to name all of them and actually think that Paul McCartney was Drake Bell from Drake & Josh but luckily I got that all straightened out. This was their last album before they broke up. This shot of the four men walking a cross walk shows them all almost in a lock step expect Paul, which is what inspired the urban legend that he was dead. (Thank god he's not).
