I was looking at a great picture thread on another board and thought I would start one here.
Post any picture that had an impact on you.
Please don't post Peter Canavan lifting Sam or the likes as this is general to everyone. Sporting pictures are allowed though.
I will start with a well known one and see where it goes to from there.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
took me a while to figure that one out
MK - I agree. You misunderstand me, I think. I was commenting on the futility of searching for a better picture to tell the 1,000 words. That one tells a billion.
Zapatista - what's the full story?
The photographer didn't intervine to save the child. He decided that if he did the photo would lose its impact on people like us. He decided that the life of this child in this photograph would eventually save the life of many others. He was right in that sense as it triggered a huge reaction from the outside world in relation to Sudan saving many lives. The photographer eventually took his own life.
That is the most horrific photo i've ever seen. I think i'd rather not have seen it nor heard the story so i could get on with life in my bubble and not be aware that there are despairing things all too common in the world.
some of the human rights violation images from indonesia on the same website would make you physically sick
What is the significance of the people with Bobby Sands ?
I'd forgotten that aspect of it. What a moral dilemma. I think I'd have solved it by doing something immoral, but less so. I think I'd have saved the child, but lied (if only I knew the truth) and pretended he had died, to achieve the propaganda effect, thus fulfilling both apparently conflicting objectives at the expense of my own conscience.
I didn't know he eventually killed himself. It's easy to understand why.

On reflection, I don't really see the point of allowing the child to die for the propaganda effect anyway. The picture is powerful enough in its own right to have stood without comment. People didn't need to know whether the child died for the picture to have a point.
On the other hand, I'm sure this was one of thousands of children who died in this famine and you can't make their rescue the responsibility of the photographers.

A bit misleading that post - a quick search on Wikipedia:
QuoteThe photograph was sold to The New York Times where it appeared for the first time on March 26, 1993. Practically overnight hundreds of people contacted the newspaper to ask whether the child had survived, leading the newspaper to run a special editor's note saying the girl had enough strength to walk away from the vulture, but that her ultimate fate was unknown.
and...
QuoteA vulture landed behind the girl. To get the two in focus, Carter approached the scene very slowly so as not to scare the vulture away and took a photo from approximately 10 metres. He took a few more photos and then the vulture flew off.
and as for his death, i think people here have assumed it's because he couldn't live with not saving the child.....
QuoteOn 27 July 1994 Carter drove to the Braamfonteinspruit river, near the Field and Study Centre, an area where he used to play as a child, and took his own life by taping one end of a hose to his pickup truck's exhaust pipe and running the other end to the passenger-side window. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of 33. Portions of Carter's suicide note read:
"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners...I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."

This photograph showing a starving Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture won Kevin Carter the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.
Photographer Haunted by Horror of His Work
Obituary: Kevin Carter 1960 - 1994
Johannesburg - Kevin Carter, the South African photographer whose image of a starving Sudanese toddler stalked by a vulture won him a Pulitzer Prize this year, was found dead on Wednesday night, apparently a suicide, police said yesterday. He was 33. The police said Mr Carter's body and several letters to friends and family were discovered in his pick-up truck, parked in a Johannesburg suburb. An inquest showed that he had died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mr Carter started as a sports photographer in 1983 but soon moved to the front lines of South African political strife, recording images of repression, anti-apartheid protest and fratricidal violence. A few davs after winning his Pulitzer Prize in April, Mr Carter was nearby when one of his closest friends and professional companions, Ken Oosterbroek, was shot dead photographing a gun battle in Tokoza township.
Friends said Mr Carter was a man of tumultuous emotions which brought passion to his work but also drove him to extremes of elation and depression. Last year, saying he needed a break from South Africa's turmoil, he paid his own way to the southern Sudan to photograph a civil war and famine that he felt the world was overlooking.
His picture of an emaciated girl collapsing on the way to a feeding centre, as a plump vulture lurked in the background, was published first in The New York Times and The Mail & Guardian, a Johannesburg weekly. 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". His father, Mr Jimmy Carter laid last night: "Kevin always carried around the horror of the work he did." - The New York Times
Enough tear jerkers. I was in the States for 911. Every news report had a story about orphaned kids whose parents didn't come home. It became the only news for days. I dont watch TV any more as a result. Bad things happen. My spending my life agonising over them wont achieve anything. Carter's death achieved nothing other than the loss of a man who could capture an entire planet's shame in one photo.
So something less profound but important nonetheless:

Or he could just be seriously regretting his choice of Halloween costume.
That photo of the KKK member being treated by the black Drs and Nurses seems a little fake to me.
It looks like its been photoshopped a bit - and when you consider that particular climate, I find it very hard to believe that the staff in a southern USA hospital back then was made up of a high enough percentage of black workers for the picture to be plausible.
I could be completely wrong.

National Geographic actually went back 20 years later to see if they could find the girl again ... and they succeeded. She looked a hell of a lot older than the 20 years and her face was really lined, but the eyes were totally unmistakeable ... maybe someone could trace that pic?

Lunch atop a Skyscraper[1] (New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam) is a famous photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets during construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in 1932.
Lunch atop a skyscraper 1932The photograph depicts 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling hundreds of feet above the New York City streets. Ebbets took the photo on September 29, 1932, and it appeared in the New York Herald Tribune in its Sunday photo supplement on October 2. Taken on the 69th floor of the GE Building during the last several months of construction, the photo Resting on a Girder shows the same workers napping on the beam.[citation needed]
Man at the right with bottle in his hand is Gusti Popovic, sawyer from Eastern Slovakia - Spiš. He sent this photo in 1932 as a postcard to his wife to Slovakia with words: "Don't worry my dear Mariska, as you see I'm always OK with my bottle. Yours Gusti." (Slovak: "Nič še ty neboj, moja milá Mariška, jak vidziš, ta ja furt s fľašečku. Tvoj Gusti.")[citation needed]
The copyright owner of the photograph, the Bettman Archive, did not recognize Charles C. Ebbets as the photographer until October 2003 (reportedly after months of investigation by a private investigation firm). [2] However, many posters and prints of the photograph continue to list the artist as 'unknown.'
Heres what Wikipedia has to say about it , love that photo myself

An experimental – and controversial – procedure for treating a crippling birth defect in the womb offered Trish and Mike Switzer the only chance that their daughter would walk like other children. But the fetal surgery posed a fatal dilemma: Their baby could die before she was born.
Photographer Max Aguilera saiud about this photo: "During a spina bifida corrective procedure at twenty-one weeks in utero, Samuel thrusts his tiny hand out of the surgical opening of his mother's uterus. As the doctor lifts his hand, Samuel reacts to the touch and squeezes the doctor's finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shakes the tiny fist. Samuel held firm.

This is one of my favourite pictures.
I have a massive copy of it in my spare room.
(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m266/laoislad/lunsj-1.jpg)
It may have been on another thread but i read that photo is not real, maybe someone debunked this theory but i honestly cant remember.
A fantatic picture. I would say it's genuine but would imagine it is an opitical illousion like the one where the guy holds the sun or pushing over the tower in Pizza. I'd say they are not to far above solid ground. Of course they might be over the side of a huge building and I will probably never know.

An experimental – and controversial – procedure for treating a crippling birth defect in the womb offered Trish and Mike Switzer the only chance that their daughter would walk like other children. But the fetal surgery posed a fatal dilemma: Their baby could die before she was born.
Photographer Max Aguilera saiud about this photo: "During a spina bifida corrective procedure at twenty-one weeks in utero, Samuel thrusts his tiny hand out of the surgical opening of his mother's uterus. As the doctor lifts his hand, Samuel reacts to the touch and squeezes the doctor's finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shakes the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. At that moment, I took this "Fetal Hand Grasp" photo.

I doubt it, it was nearly a 1000 years ago :P

The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across
The moderator will not allow me to post one of the photos as it is so horrifying.

Results of depleted uranium used by the US army in Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands of innocent victims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those photographs make me speechless.
Only got about half way down there before it was too much. Those photos are shocking. Worst I have seen.
I only scrolled down for 3 pictures there. That's the most horrendous thing I've ever seen.
Man's blind indifference to his fellow man.
those pictures are awful, shocking stuff

Could only look at the first couple of pictures. Truly horrific.

You will need to host the images somewhere, try imageshack or the likes... Then they will give you a link looking somehting like this BLABLABLA (http://blablabla) and just stick that in your message.

And Bush has the cheek to be lecturing on human rights abuses, the fuckwit!!
Pictures like these should not be censored, shocking and horrific as they are.

My apologies. I did say that the photos were horrifying. I have now edited it with a warning notice.
I did not go searching for those photographs, I heard an interview with the site owner this morning. I have seen plenty of the same after Gulf War 1.
Focus your anger toward the people that ordered those atrocities, not toward me.

We could indeed and we could likely match each and every one with things that we have done to ourselves. But let's not it would be pretty f**king depressing.

I assumed the moderator would not want it, he never informed me one way or the other. That is the reason I only posted the link. It was the members choice to click on it.
Because of those photos maybe some war supporters may have a change of heart and realise that the powers that be have no regard for human life not to mind peoples freedoms.

Poor photoshopping by the looks of it. Maybe they were empty seats, or there was a logo on the photo or something.
I feel sick to the bone, totally shaken
Absolutely horrendous.
If the claims made on that site could be confirmed, then the Americans who carried out the attacks are no better then the Nazi's who ordered and carried out the brutal murder of millions of Europeans during WW2.

Without doubt the most horrific pictures I have ever seen. Truely shocking. I understand the need to educate the world about the real consequences of the Golf Wars but not sure if posting the pictures on this thread served any real purpose.
Seamus, without delving too much into the details (the pictures were more than enough!!), can you explain the background? Is it as a result of munition rounds/shells used by the US which then contaminated the people/food/land etc. and then led to birth defects??
there has to be a conspiracy in there somewhere...
Exactly stevo and it affects the soldiers and their families as well. For more info on the horrors of depleted uranium go to http://www.gulfwarvets.com/du.htm (http://www.gulfwarvets.com/du.htm)

Tyrones own if supporting lies and propaganda is pro American and flag waving at times of war is Patriotic then good for you. I happen to believe it's the very opposite. I live in the US and would lay down my life to uphold the Constitution.
That cop out comment by you heganboy has surprised me, of all people on this board I did not expect it of you. Then again nothing surprises me anymore.

I have just read through the reports on the website that links up to the pictures. I do not see ANY evidence on their/his site that ties the US military directly to the photos. He (site owner) states that the birth defects are being studied to determine if there is an actual corelation to US arms and the birth defects.
One of his statements (paraphrase) "Taliban soldiers guns would melt in their hands after a Uranium grade munition went off in the field." Why would the soldier not melt? The site owner goes on to say " the Taliban soldiers would be fine one day but bleed out through their mouth later and die." Again how can a metal gun melt in one's hands and then walk away if there was such immediate damage?
The pictures are horrendous if real and not doctored. Could this Uranium poising be left over from the Russians who were there for over 20 years?
Uranium grade weapons register specific characteristics which can determine origin but the site owner states there is no definitive answer on who or what causes the radiation poising.
I wonder why these birth defects are not showing up in the US since many soldiers had to handle these weapons?
So American bombs are not bad for your health but Russian bombs are, I've heard it all now. God help Georgia.
That's not at all what he was getting at Seamus but then you know that already ::)
I suppose the question to you is how come you only have barbs and bitterness for said perceived
US atrocities but simply no mention of on going atrocities elsewhere in the world past or present ???
It's like Merle used to sing Seamus.......If you don't love it.. leave it!
