Silkroad Online Forums

I was using stumble around, and I came across a page that had a bunch of photos that changed the world. I recognized some of them, like the tiananmen square guy, the hanging of Saddam Hussein, and the Napalm girl; but found new ones like segregated water fountains, amd starving boy and missionary.

A lot of them are graphic, dealing with people and children that are dead, dying, bleeding, cut, mutilated, etc. But all of them have some historical value and are all touching. It's not something there purely to disgust, and because of that I feel it warrants attention.

Please visit, but be aware of the graphic content:

Oh my, those eyes of that "afghan girl" seem so cold and full of hate. Almost scary....btw dom nice boo boo you made there. I'm guessing this was meant for OTL

Have seen some of them already. Very.. powerful photos with great story backgrounds.

Yeah Indeed

Wow, very impressive.

I'd exclude that "first pic on the net" shot though...up till today I still find that to be a tad too dubious to believe. "Burial of an unknown child" projects the most powerful visual impact imo

Thats actually the only one that impressed me.

Most of these aren't world changing, most are just simply famous.

The starving boy and vulture was very sad.

Yeah, there are some that can be excluded..

This is life itself.
Im amazed by most of these pictures.
(but i like the most the "take the pic already" picture:D)

life is sooo much more than these photos...it would more appropriate to say humanity than life or even history than life....

I don't understand how the "Lenna Playboy" picture changed the world?

Click the image & read.

These ones, in my opinion are the most emotionally moving.

for me those are the eyes of a victim and when i saw it the first thing that came to my mind was *dervish* from gw, very beautiful picture indeed.

It's a shame not all of them have such detailed background stories as the others have.

Nice find.

Yeah, to bad she didn't age well.

This one is so tragic. I cant stand looking at it for more than 5 seconds.

Wow, nice find.

i am not that superficial and i dont believe the dead deserves anything no matter who it was or what they did, all or nothing is better spent on the living.

Saw a couple of those videos released from the same group, could never remember what they were called. Been looking for those for a long time, thanks a lot.
