The little boy with the tennis balls and the dancer are my favorites. The dancer piece is wonderful - that one shot where it's just the blurry arm and hand and the wall in the frame - fantastic. Have I ever gushed about my favorite photographer: http://www.corbijn.co.uk/ I discovered him because he used to shoot depeche mode when I was into them. He shoots u2 a lot, too, but I just love his stuff regardless of who's in the picture. The contrast and the texture of the images — metallic and grainy-gritty at the same time — is just striking. I see a lot of people trying to copy his style, too. Wow - that Israel piece is incredible. The little boy with the tennis balls and the dancer are my favorites.

I believe it. You should also check out his <a href="http://langephoto.com/lasttenminutes.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Israel flipbook</a> (look for the link). The dancer in front of the wall is unbelievable. Thanks for commenting! I've been feeling a little lonely here...

I actually like this version better. That aside, LOVE these photos and love the animation - the cheerleading section is pretty amazing, as is the dog Elizabethan collar guy. My favorite, though, is Clive Owen. I know, that is so obvious and I am such a soccer mom, but, um, yum? Oopoh, Bruce Springsteen trivia: he covered this song on his 2005 acoustic tour.
