Photos of Harold Camping just before and after the predicted May 21 rapture.
Harold Camping believed Judgment Day would arrive May 21, when earthquakes would strike the planet and 200 million people would fly up to heaven in the "rapture." As the founder of Family Radio, a Christian radio network, the 89-year-old engineer and self-taught Bible teacher convinced many of his listeners that the end was near as well.

Many people quit their jobs and left their families, and some gave away their money to the cause: namely, getting out the word through caravans, billboards, and pamphlets that judgment was upon us.
Now that day has come and gone, and followers are trying to figure out what to believe. Was this another miscalculation, they ask, or did a "spiritual judgment" take place Saturday that we could not see on Earth? Some believe God withheld his judgment to give more people time to confess, and some simply say Camping was wrong now like he was in 1994.
In a Monday broadcast, Camping said his calculations were off; that he's not going to discuss Judgment Day anymore; and that the world will be destroyed on Oct. 21.
But on Sunday morning, when Camping awoke to a world still existing, his response was one of, in his words, bewilderment. Oakland-based photographer Brandon Tauszik was there to capture Camping's response.
Here's a look at Camping and his church days before and immediately after May 21, as documented by Tauszik.
