Top 100 Photos- 3

The Pillow Fight- Harry Benson 1964
What drew me to this photo was the action taking place in it (I also noticed the Beatles :). Benson was supposed to be going to Africa to to cover a story there when he was assigned to take photos of The Beatles, he scoffed and said he didn't want to cover a rock and roll story, but he soon realized that this was where he was meant to be.

Final Exam Planning
