Khalil Hamra (born 1979, Kuwait) is a Palestinian photojournalist based on Rafah in the Gaza Strip. In 2009, Hamra was recognized by the Overseas Press Club of America with its Robert Capa Gold Medal for his series covering the war in Gaza.
Khalil Hamra's parents are Palestinian, but he was born in Kuwait in 1979 and raised in Qatar and Egypt in addition to his parents' homeland. In 2002, a year after graduating from the Islamic University of Gaza in the Palestinian territories with a degree in journalism, Hamra took work as a freelancer with the Associated Press, based in Rafah.
In 2004, Hamra's work was featured in a group exhibition of AP photojournalists in the annual international Visa Pour L'image festival in Perpignan, France; that same year, he received a 2nd prize from Editor & Publisher for photographs he had taken of a tank strike in Israel. In 2009, he received the Overseas Press Club of America's "Robert Capa Gold Medal" for a series of photographs entitled "War in Gaza", becoming the first Associated Press photographer to win the award in more than thirty years, since Eddie Adams took the prize in 1977. The Overseas Press Club praised his images as "close up, powerful and direct and taken at considerable risk due to the nature of the conflict which had combatants mingling amongst the civilian population". In February 2011, Hamra himself made news when he was injured documenting demonstrations in Tahrir Square, Alexandria during the 2011 Egyptian revolution.
John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founder members of The Beatles, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Together with Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most celebrated songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to raising his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.
