Václav and Olga Havel on their way to Iceland, Canada, and the USA for state visits, 1990

After the fall of the Communist régime in late 1989 ( the Velvet Revolution), Tomki Nemec was employed as the personal photographer to President Václav Havel. He accompanied the President on many trips at home and abroad and photographed him on various official and nonofficial occasions. Nemec eventually assembled a large set of expressive photographs, which show different aspects of Havel's personality and his ups and downs - from being the leading figure of the "Velvet Revolution" of November 1989, to his diverse work as an extraordinarily popular president, his resignation from the Presidential Office over the break-up of Czechoslovakia in 1992, and his election as the first President of the Czech Republic.

Expedition member Dave Kaufman stands at the cockpit of the WWII P-38 Lightning 265 feet below the surface of the Greenland ice sheet.

The aircraft of the Lost Squadron were located by specialized ground penetrating radar in 1988 after 12 expeditions over 11 years. In 1992 Greenland Expedition Society members succeeded in melting down to and opening up a cavern around the aircraft. Disassembled and returned to the United States, the aircraft became the center of intensive 12 year restoration in Middlesboro KY to a complete zero hour air frame with 80% original parts. This project and these photographs became the basis for the Hyperion book "The Lost Squadron" by David Hayes and the Discovery Channel's "The Hunt for the Lost Squadron".

View more unseen Hitler photographs

Rare photographs of Adolf Hitler taken by a British secret agent just before the start of World War II were published by the British photo agency Page One yesterday.

Charles Turner, a music composer who was recruited as a spy, took the photos at the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth, Germany, in 1939, his son David Turner said. "The miraculous happened. My father was invited to join Hitler's entourage for the day, Wednesday, July 26. He was given carte blanche permission to photograph the fuehrer," David Turner said.

Charles Turner died in 1977 and the photos were kept as family mementos after his death. His son, a teacher, decided to make the photos public now after he started researching his family's roots. Read full story on CNN.

A Photographic Exhibition by award-winning Gabriele ‘Kash’ Torsello: Temporary Work for Afghans, launches in London on June 12, 2007.

Kash is a London-based Italian photojournalist. He was kidnapped and held hostage in Afghanistan last October, and with this powerful exhibition of images from Afghanistan Kash returns to the public arena.

This exhibition-talk will illustrate his ongoing project, Temporary Work for Afghans - a project focused on the implementation of understanding between cultures, which explores the structure for an open-ended dialogue towards collaboration & peace.

Over the years Kash has compassionately chronicled the life of Kashmiris and Afghans - their pain, their hopes and their vibrancy - bringing their plight to the notice of the world. During this time he has made his own personal journey, embracing the cultures and accepting Islam.
