Top 45 most powerful photos of 2011... Which one stirs you the most?

Number 8.

I am still in awe with that photo. We are fragile, this is one of the many photos from this year that prove just that.

Reload, it’s there now at the top… sorry.

The little Kenyan child really stirred me up. I’m so sad about that.

@KateTheGreat @Neizvestnaya I can’t hardly look at that photo it’s so disturbing.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies: I look at that picture and those of similar looking babies and children and get angry and sad at the same time. I can’t imagine making the choice to chance subjecting my own child to a life like that.

They all move me in some way. Ty for sharing the link

No doubt @judochop… it could all be gone in a second.

I understand @Neizvestnaya… but you’ll note the child made a full recovery. I can’t imagine denying my child that possibility either.

I cant pick @RealEyesRealizeRealLies. So many of those photos touched my heart in some way or another. There are positives and negatives in those photos (sadly, many negatives). The photos demonstrate the power images have though. It has been a big year hasn’t it?

One of the only pictures that made me smile. Good for them.

I stopped looking at #20. I remember seeing this image not long after it happened and it made me cry. Many of these do, but to see that dog lying there beside the casket is so touching….. :’ (

#18 for the world
#33 for humanity

Number 16, the cop spraying a line of students at a sit-in protest at UC Davis. Sums up all that is fucked with our country pretty well.

The emaciated baby.

The website is blocked, I’ll have to see later :/
