I dont know what to say about this picture but it makes me laugh each time I see it.

Fascinating ...

We've received a lot of mail since running this photo from the Va. Tech massacre. Many viewers felt it crossed a line, thinking the student's genitals were exposed. After magnifying the area, we believed it was part of the tourniquet hanging from his leg, and ran the photo as sent by the Roanoke Times. While in the end we were right about the tourniquet, improvised from an electrical cord by Eagle Scout Kevin Sterne, other publications altered the image, blurring the area as a precaution. How do you feel about our running the photo prominently on good faith that the student was not exposed, and about some other publications doctoring it?

If you have a car, there may be a little bit of Norilsk in its catalytic converter, since about half of the world's supply of palladium is mined there.

Interpretive news pictures flirt with expectations of objective coverage. What meaning do you intend by framing a picture like that? Challenged about this ambiguity, a photographer could simply point again to the photo. It was there. What could be more objective than that?

Who knew that biofuel could be so pretty? I thought this was worth sharing in case it's not spring where you live yet and you want to live vicariously.

I like the way the sequence of tanks and dust clouds pulls your eye through the frame. Did you notice this image was provided by the Israeli military? Wire services often send images provided by military units from around the world, including the U.S. military. How do you feel about publishing them in an editorial environment?

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on when I first saw this photo, I had to read the caption before I really grasped what was going on here, then i laughed out loud. I guess it adds meaning to the expression when life gives you lemons make lemonade

What makes this picture noteworthy is the caption. It interests me that a publication's false description can become reality, if enough people believe it. In this case it worked to the businessman's advantage.

I had no idea that rabbits of this size exist.

Cool photo, but it seems like whenever all else fails, a wall is built. The Israeli West Bank barrier, the U.S. border fence with Mexico, and now this. It seems like it never really solves the problem and increases the separation between people.

I love this photo, It captures the moment right before you know something, not good, is going to happen, but you don't know exactly what that is going to be. I really wonder what this matador was thinking right then.

I know several teachers, and I hear some of them of talk about what 'No Child Left Behind' means at the classroom level. Most of what I hear is not good. Many of the complaints are based on the idea that students are being left behind. They say that most of what is being funded and built is just a huge standardized testing industry. What do you think? Has this law had a positive impact in your state, your school district, your childs classroom?

I wonder how the owner of this cup, and the numerous others who barely missed this week's tragedy at Virginia Tech, will change their lives in response to feeling like they were given a second chance. Have you experienced a life-changing close call?

Am I the only one who sees a Sharpie in this picture?

Maybe it's because we haven't had a nice day here on the East Coast for a while, but I just love this photo. I can smell the flowers, I want to run and sit on that bench!

This photo is just downright horrific. There is a lot of controversy over whether or not photos like these should ever be released to the general public. Will publishing the photos result in future killings, or is it worth showing to help us understand why this horrible tragedy happened?

With all the recent news of shootings and death, I came across this photo I wanted to share. At first glance it put a smile on my face. The angle of the camera, the girls smile, the carp streamers they all just come together and make a nice photo.

I know it's difficult to get day-after photos from a tragedy. This is an interesting photograph with interesting lighting.

This picture cracked me up, I know that sumo wrestling is a very special thing in Japan but this image still makes me laugh. This should become the test for all males to feel comfortable in their sexuality, dress up in a thong diaper and parade around in front of everyone in it. And to top things off you have to wrestle another dude who is wearing the same thing. I personally think this is a brilliant idea.

One of the things that I enjoy most about my job is having the oppurtunity to look through images from around the world. Often times I come across events, traditions, customs, issues, etc. from around that I knew nothing about or even knew they existed. It feels like I get a new education everyday. Now often times some of these things I disagree with but I have to respect the ideas and beliefs of other cultures. I know many animal rights activists will be outraged at this image for the fact that they are attempting to throw a goat carcass but this is exactly one of those times that I have to step back and allow myself to simply be educated about the ways of the Afghan people.

This picture just struck me as a really beautiful image. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for the photographer to capture the correct exposure to get this image to look so great. So just sit back, relax, and take a moment to look at this beautiful image.

The first line of this caption made me laugh out loud.

This photo caused a real buzz in the office today and I felt compelled to share it. Unbelievably, doctors were able to reattach the arm and the crocodile was unharmed, even after being shot twice.

Have you ever wondered how a baby's brain functions? This photo tells all. It seems like the baby doesn't even mind all the electrodes attached to her head.
