I chose Josef Koudelka, born in a Czechoslovakian province, as my photographer from the Magnum website.
His Portfolio
And here are a couple of his images that I liked:

In this image, he's controlling the background and waiting for the right moment, when the dog aligns itself with the path.
This picture was take at just the right moment; he must've waited quite a long time for the birds to take flight and frame them in an interesting way. I also like how it seems the birds will continue to fly through the picture; there seems to be some kind of interaction between all the birds.
I know this image was taken on a day of a carnival, maybe only for school children. This is definitely a candid shot, and a very interesting one at that, since something like this doesn't occur everyday. I also like the interaction between the older woman and the angel-boy; she seems to be looking at him in an unapproved way, which seems somewhat ironic, because he's dressed up as an angel. There is also a slight implied interaction between the horses and the child; they're both going in the same direction, which doesn't make it feel like the horses are disturbing the composition of this picture.
