Let's see, 1972... yup, that'd be a self-portrait, unless anyone wants to see a recreation of the Massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Massacre. Not something, I really want to photograph.

Wow, I have no clue what happened the year I was born as there were only 2 days left in the year when I arrived.
Edit: 1972- Dallas Cowboys win Superbowl VI
I was able to see them win the Superbowls of 1992, 1994, & 1995, but it's cool to know my birthyear was another great year for them. |
Umm...
Eleven Israeli athletes at Olympic Games in Munich are killed after eight members of an Arab terrorist group invades Olympic Village; five guerrillas and one policeman are also killed (Sept. 5, 1972).
Btw, I was born July 2nd that same year. |
Another important fact. I've just never taken the time to see what happened in my birthyear. That would be a heavy subject to try to photograph for the challenge.
Thanks for sharing.
