Powerful Images

[-Psy-]

What pictures do you find moving/powerful?

I don't know why but this strikes a chord with me.

 

[evil^milk]

Not exactly powerful or meaningful, but I always liked this image.

Nice thread idea

 

[CptStern]

 

[The Monkey]

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I've always thought this picture of a smoking room was very clever. Also infamous picture of the napalm girl running away is pretty powerful.

 

[Baal]

That smoking room is amazing.

wow

 

[Angel_Mapper]

I've always liked this one.

 

[Solaris]

 

[kirovman]

You counter-revolutionary, Solaris!

 

[ailevation]

Not an image, but a video... very moving. Probably would be even more if I was a father.

Wow. That's amazing!

From wikipedia:

When asked what one thing Rick wished he could give his father, his reply was "The thing I'd most like is that my dad would sit in the chair and I would push him once."

 

[Idonno >_<]

Wow...that was so...amazing. That the one word that comes to mind. It takes some one with a great love for their child to do something like this.


This is the child I adopted through a group called Compassion International.

 

[The Monkey]

The one Hectic Glenn mentioned.

Russian and American soldiers meet at river Elbe in 1945.

East-German guard jumps over a barrier to West-Berlin.

[NeptuneUK]

Nice thread idea

the strokes??? the strokes?!!?!

its a cloud chamber displaying the movement of charged particles in a magnetic field anyway!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I think Kamikazi and Ravioli missed the point. Lets try to stay on the straight D:

That monk who set himself on fire is a very powerful picture, nice one. I think a monk more recently did the same stunt for global peace or something.

yep, the strokes why?

i made some research a few months ago about the particle physics and found cool similar images

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Indeed, that picture is truly horrifying. Although you know how to push all the right buttons with me Kamakazi, considering I'm Jewish blood... D:

 

[Ren.182]

Amazing how much is out there...

Any war picture/video is pretty powerful too.

 

[ailevation]

I love astronomy.

 

[Absinthe]

The photo is literally a split second before the execution.

 

[Jintor]

The photo is literally a split second before the execution.

[CookieCuttah]

Always struck me as synonymous with how most of us Russians are.

Black and white?

 

[Uriel]

I think everyone, and I mean everyone would agree.

 

[Ennui]

I immediately thought of these three pictures after reading the first post in the thread; they've all been posted already.

[Operational]

The photo was taken during a surgery performed by Dr. Joseph Bruner and Dr. Noel Tulipan at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville on August 19, 1999 to treat a 21-week-old fetus for spina bifida. The operation was a success, and three months later a healthy Samuel Alexander Armas was delivered by C-section.

Samuel came out from under anesthesia too soon and thrust his clenched fist out of the surgical opening to his mother's womb. In my opinion, Samuel was in pain. Dr. Joseph Bruner reached over and gently lifted Samuel's hand, and Samuel reacted by squeezing the doctor's finger.
