Photos that make you feel

Each year World Press goes through thousands and thousands of photos and pick one, for photo of the year.
2011 World Press Photo of the Year winner is this image by Samuel Aranda of a yemeni woman cradling what is thought to be a relative.
I think that it is a gripping image. I feel despair and sadness when I look at it. Sense the suffering.



Other photos that made me FEEL were.....

Rhino Poaching. You can see the sadness in the eyes of the two rhinos. When I see stuff like this I hate humans, the biggest destroyers of
everything beautiful on this planet. Poaching is absolutely DISGUSTING. And so is trophy hunting. Animals must despise the human race.
I do at times. Photo by Brett Stirton.



Maria.
"Reportage by Getty Images for Kiev Independent, shows Maria, a drug addict and sex worker, in between clients in a room she rents in Kryvyi Rig, Ukraine. Maria injects drugs on a daily basis and sees many men every week but claims she remains HIV negative. She says she need the money to support herself, her drug habit and her nine-year-old daughter." Photo by Brett Stirton, quite an accomplishment to have two of your photos recognized..
WOW.....What to say, what to say? I feel bad for this woman........And I am also wondering, who in their right mind pays to have sex with her? She looks sick and dirty, it's sad.
I would be scared to be intimate with her, scared for my own health. What a life, how sad.....
I can only hope that somehow, she is ok. And that her daughter will take a different path.



Child brides, too young to wed. Photo by Stephanie Sinclair. Yeah, no shit. TOO YOUNG TO WED.
I read somewhere that these girls are about nine, only nine, so small still.
Should be in school and playing for fun. Their husbands are about 28.
😥



And......Rhinestone Heels On Empty Highway. Photo by Tatiana SuperNova.
Makes you think of an independent spirit.



All photos, except my own.....borrowed from BBC News.
