A picture of an armed sheriff moving through an American home after an eviction due to a mortgage foreclosure won the top prize in the World Press Photo competition. Jury members said the strength of the photo by Anthony Suau for Time magazine was in its opposites – it looks like a classic war photograph, but is simply the eviction of people from a house.
The winner in the General News Singles category, by Brazilian photographer Luiz Vasconcelos, was another eviction scene showing a woman holding her naked child while being pushed away from her home by a line of riot police.
You can see the amazing photographs here.
After due reflection he may just be going to spend some relief.
Freaking out can wait until people start moving in.
The top picture seems posed. If the officer were to pull the trigger with his gun so close to his face he would get a broken nose for sure.
I have taken better pictures on my crappy iphone camera. Who where the crack heads that picked these?
deowll,
So I’m not sure what the problem is here. So we shouldn’t allow refugees into the country or is it because you disapprove of where the refugees come from?
#23, Redfaced,
So you have taken better pictures with your iPhone? Congratulations. Is that by your judgment or a panel of professionals?
This is a very well crafted picture. There is tension, some drama, a history, as well as mystery over where he is going. What’s behind that door? Why is the house so torn up? Why is the cop even there?
The photographer might have taken 100 pictures that day and this is the only true keeper. And for good reason, it is a keeper. So if you have taken better pictures with your iPhone, why not post them so we can all see your genius?
#3, Confederate traitor,
So what? That is a resolution and is worth less than the paper it is printed on.
# 5 Glidedon, Yes of course, more neocon playbook rhetoric; “Cop is exercising due diligence to protect himself.”
Don’t expect every American to pay unquestioning homage to “your power and control psychotic overlords”.
Some of us have don’t share your knee jerk need to “serve and protect the police”.
Mr. Fusion, I can only assume you haven’t heard of Hamas.
You might want to check out what they’ve managed to do for property values in Gaza.
Of course if you are in the funeral business…
#28, deowll,
Are you trying to hijack the thread to support for the Israelis murdering the Palestinians?
Gaza Strip property values would be a lot better if the Israelis stopped bombing the shit out of it, they allowed food and water in, and they didn’t drive their tanks through all the buildings.
But I know you approve such actions which makes you a piece of shit in my eyes.
