Thanks Steve, I hadn't seen them yet this year. Some wonderful stuff in there. The one you highlighted is certainly very powerful and I also like the shot of the prisoner. One of the less obvious, but more interesting photos, is the of the two girls on the way to a prom. I like that their reflections appear older than they do. The boy with the machine gun is just plain scary.

The girls on the way to the Prom was one of my three favorites. It's a really great photo. It's Helmut Newton meets William Eggleston. It's very creepy in a good way.
