 Ruth and I are in Hawaii, taking a break from Alaska's loooooong winter. Just up early cruising the web and finally looked at SI's 100 Greatest Photos "of all time!", as Muhammad Ali used to say.
My "Northern Pike Swallows Rainbow Trout" image is just five photos down, right after Ali, Leon Spinks, Pete Rose, and Joe DiMaggio. The 100 photos are not numbered in any way. They're part of a running commentary by SI reporter Steve Rushin, and he doesn't say a whole lot about each photo. It's more of a thesis in which he waxes eloquent on the photographic process. Check out the whole gallery. There are some truly great photos (like Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston, left, taken by my hero, SI's Neil Leifer), and some images that are included only because of who the subject is. Anyway you look at it, I'm humbled to be included with the truly great sports images..."of all time!" |
