30 Of The Most Powerful Images Ever

30 Of The Most Powerful Images Ever
A picture is worth a thousand words, but not all pictures are created equal. The pictures we usually feature on Bored Panda can be cute, beautiful, funny, or enchanting, but these pictures are powerful. They are gripping and unforgettable because of the volumes they speak about the human condition – about some of the best and worst moments of contemporary human existence. [Read more...] We should warn our readers that some of these pictures may upset them, while others may fill them with joy. But that’s precisely because these images reflect some of the best and worst parts of the human experience and world events. Some of these photographs may mean more to some of our readers than to others. P.S: we always try our best to credit each and every photographer, but sometimes it’s impossible to track some of them. 1. Image credits: Mike Wells 2. Image credits: kligon5 3.

[ Volver arriba ] 40 Must-See Photos From The Past The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” was coined by American newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane in 1911. It’s a simple notion that applies to many aspects of our lives, but especially to historical photography. Sometimes, one simple picture can tell you more about history than any story you might read or any document you might analyze. [Read more...] These photographs all tell stories about the historical figures or events that they represent. Perhaps the wars, poverty, fights for freedom and little miracles of the past have lessons for us that we can use today?

Justice For Quinten - A Heartbreaking Story Of Sibling Love In Spite Of An Abusive Father This is the most heartbreaking story I’ve ever written about. It’s a story that shows the love of siblings for each other in spite of having the same abusive father. Their journey, what happened along the way, and the outcome are all unforgettable. This is worth the entire read – trust me. This is in her words. 9 years ago, I met my biological father, and I found out that I had little brothers. 3 days after meeting them, our father asked if they could come live with me, while he worked overseas. He was the happiest little guy, though. Anywhere Quinten went, Cameron went too. This is Quinten on his birthday- I’d given him white cake, trying to avoid a mess- but he decided he wanted chocolate! After almost 4 years of caring for them, I reached a point where I could no longer, emotionally or financially do it anymore. After 2 years overseas with the boys, our father returned back to the states to live. A worker came out to the boys’ schools, and interviewed Cameron.

Après avoir lu cet article, vous apprendrez à réussir des photos dont vous êtes fier sans perdre une minute sur vos journées bien remplies.
