A COLLECTION OF ODD-BALLS

The dictionary defines "odd" as:

"a - left over after others are paired or grouped; b - separated from a set or series; c - not regular, expected, or planned; d - encountered or experienced from time to time; e - differing markedly from the usual or ordinary or accepted: PECULIAR. synonym: see STRANGE."

This is a collection of portraits of people who were out of the ordinary, unique, peculiar or strange. There are victims and victors, some worthy and some unworthy and some just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then there are some in this group who simply had very odd names.
