A picture truly is worth 1,000 words.

It is stuff such as what is in that link is why I'm likely to become a photojournalist.

I honestly get teary eyed when I see pictures of the dog and his owners funeral. I am a dog owner so I guess it gets to me a little more. Just shows the loyalty a dog has for his owner.

As a Marine. I have to point out that every stereotype about #42 is true. Just look at all of the grey shirts. compared to the green ones.
These pictures are great. It's unreal to look at the joplin before and after.

Who were the tools that brought booze to Amy Winehouse's memorial. (1) Don't you know how she died, and (2) Can I have it?

Props to the dude to grab a little "quality time" with the GF while the riot rages on.

Wasn't number 25 staged (The guy kissing his GF during the Riot)?

Also Number 8 (The Joplin Before & After) does not appear to be the same street to me, the driveways look off. But maybe that is because of the Destruction

Not a lot of happy moments in those pictures. Just difficult to see all the unrest around the world this year.

The initial thought was the Vancouver kiss was staged. However, there was surveillance video showing her being thrown to the ground. Basically a photographer was able to capture the moment at the right time.

some amazing photography. It's a reminder of how catastrophic the weather and climate have always been.

Fixed it for you.

As a Sailor. I disagree.
