What’s in a picture?

A picture’s worth a thou­sand words. Behind gifted eyes, is a vision, a gen­tle whis­per from the heart, an artist’s soul. Like the deaf­en­ing silence in a vibrant dream,

…every pic­ture tells a story with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

World Press Photo 2.0: Over 50 years of Journalism Excellence at your Finger Tips


Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It’s a rather sad fact that many of these are images of war, of tears & vio­lence. These excel­lence comes with a bit­ter price.

In over half a cen­tury our world has been fight­ing for peace that is still yet to come. There are silent reminders of the many work that needs to be done.

But one thing is con­sis­tent, these images are all cap­tured with one voice: The cry for free­dom, the hope of a bet­ter tomor­row, a reminder to all of us that we all can make a dif­fer­ence no mat­ter how small we can give, and espe­cially for us pho­tog­ra­phers, we need not guns & ammu­ni­tions but a mere eye to tell the world how we can be better.

Peace.
