The Most Powerful Photos

Here are the most powerful photos that I saw:

I picked this photo because this symbolizes the resistance movement that rose during that year in China. To me it symbolizes the standing up action of passive resistance. The tanks are a large aspect of this photo, and the repetition of the tanks makes me gravitate towards this photo. This photo made the top 40 cut probably because it sparked a change in China that to this day is still felt. 

I picked this photo because the pain and loss that this man felt because of his son dying is felt through the picture. His position and how he is kissing the stone makes this photo especially interesting. This photo probably made the top 40 cut because of the affect that 9/11 had on America. We are still influenced by that today, positively and negatively.

I picked this photo because the retire police chief was wrongly arrested and his composure in a time of great duress symbolizes the peaceful protest movement ideas. His face tells me that he understands that his sacrifice will not be forgotten. This picture looks like a still from a movie, like when the bad guy gets arrested, but instead it shows how corporate America has influenced every part of our lives, and there is no escape. This photo probably made the top 40 cut because the movement that the man was a part of brought attention to one of, if not the most, important problems in America.
