30 I think this one signifies a child mind affected by war.
Its #5 in my top 10 favorite photos.

[laidbackguy1972]

although unintended...both pics combined showed a pretty cool thing...afgs' pic showed a cool moment when humans show compassion...and hollows pic illustrated what our children are left with when we lose our compassion...nice photos both of you!

[Hollow_eyes]

31 this is my #2 favorite photo. Shows the power one man can have. extreme bravery , ect ect.
((this was at tinamen square. after this the man was escorted off by police and never seen again))

[cvnenglish]

I like the one on the left because it makes warmongers mad.


And this other because it says out with the old and.... election year!

yea, its a good contrast afreegreek, all the best shots rely on emotional contrast to my mind, the wider the contrast the better the image..

I have had that photo on the wall in my office for years, one of my favorites as well.

[sluggoo]

maybe not as profound but having surfed most of my life, I can sit and stare at these photo's for hours. Such power in the wave, such frailty of human life but with the ability to overcome

good philosophy to go with those shots sluggoo, again as with the origanal shot at the begining of this thread, its the great contrast between week and strong in the frame that makes it a powerful and emotional experience to veiw..

“Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load his shit into a truck.” lol@that sluggoo....nice pix too

[Bashman]

Testing shit out bitches.

[driedjello]

Just testing. There should be a picture of the cove of my lake in Nebraska...

[driedjello]

I have never surfed but can attest to the power of the waves. I have been bitchslapped a time or two just swimming in the ocean by those things! I was also caught on lake Superior during a bad storm and I swear we fought 20 foot waves for about 2 hours trying to get back to camp.

56 A suvivor of the rwandan genocide. 800,000 people killed in only 3 months. 95% of all attacks were by machete. The scars you see are from a machete

[KYOSHOFIEND]

Beautiful photo AFG. I have a picture of my newborn daughters hand around the finger of my Daddy's. He was terminally ill and died not too long after. That shot while private, is what I thought of as soon as I saw your picture of this little bunny in the hands of a loving sage.



This pic I've chosen to add here speaks volumes to me. Love prevails and stands the tests of time....

58 A manwith one arm and one leg bathing his children. Struggle through impossible odds.

59 Pain , death and indifference. Death by starvation of an innocent and helpless child.

[Hollow_eyes]

60 Powerful image of a homeless man and his only friend. Two lives leaning and helping eachother through the worst of times.

[Hollow_eyes]

61 The "unwanted" children of romania. the "incurables". Fear and desperation.

It was found last year in Mantua, Italy. It's approximate age dates back 5000 years to the Neolithic age. Buried treasure if you ask me. :cool:


Archeologists that discovered it can only theorize it as a sacrificial event where the woman was offered first then followed by her mate. It's reasoning can only be assumed but a picture speaks a thousand words. Don't you think?

Hahaha, that's cool.

Islamists have lost in Iraq. Obama Bin Laden keeps releasing audio messages every week crying about it. Islam has been defeated AGAIN.

After the commercial break it'll be Iran, stay tuned.

What a surprise, a fool in the background with a rifle. No doubt it was supplied by European manufacturers, possibly French.

I believe it to be an FN FAL of Belgian origin.

*Wipes away tears* Estrogen sucks. This thread is heartbreaking, man. The one with the puppy dog beside the owner on the ground. Oh man. Made me think of how loyal my little sweetheart is. Good posts, everyone.

[Sportster]

very powerful pic...

titled ...Wanting a meal..taken by Kevin Carter

His picture of an emaciated girl collapsing on the way to a feeding centre, as a plump vulture lurked in the background won him the Pulitzer in 94 but only days later he committed suicide.. :( :(

The reaction to the picture was so strong that The New York Times published an unusual editor's note on the fate of the girl. Mr Carter said she resumed her trek to the feeding centre. He chased away the vulture.....

Afterwards, he told an interviewer, he sat under a tree for a long time, "smoking cigarettes and crying".

R.I.P


In today's world, this picture is simply beyond my comprehension. Outstanding post.
