Radio show host Don Imus waits for the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show to begin, where Imus talked about complaints that he made racially charged comments in a recent broadcast April 9, 2007 in New York City.
I like the angle Spencer Platt took when taking this photo. I haven't seen many photos of Imus following the controversy, and I like that this one is different. Do you think Imus is a bad person who should be fired?

I encountered this arresting image while searching stock photos for a health story. What does it mean?

Cars are transported by ropeway over the Volkswagen Bratislava plant, in Bratislava, Slovakia, Tuesday, March 27, 2007. The Slovak plant of German car maker Volkswagen raised sales by a quarter to record 195.5 billion Slovak Korunas (5.82 billion euro/ US$7.77 billion) last year and the number of the produced cars grew from 218,000 to over 238,000. Bratislava' plant is the only plant within the concern producing the luxury automobiles Audi Q7, VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.
When I first saw this image, I thought it was a ski lift, and so I was puzzled by seeing cars where I expected skiers. Then I supposed it was an art project, but that seemed awfully expensive, so finally I read the caption.

Larry Birkhead smiles and raises his hands in the air in front of a Bahamian court after a paternity hearing in Nassau, Tuesday, April 10, 2007.
DNA analysis had to be done to prove that Anna Nicole Smith's former boyfriend Larry Birkhead was the father of her infant daughter. I love this photo, it just screams, " I told you so!" I just don't understand why Anna Nicole said Howard K. Stern was the daddy. Any ideas?

A boy looks at footwear near a pool of blood at the scene of a mortar attack in Baghdad March 27, 2007. The attack killed four persons and wounded 14 others, police said.
As we look at pictures following violence in Iraq and other parts of the world, sometimes the only indication of the human toll are the shoes left behind. They are a stark reminder of the severity of the event -- someone ran away, or was taken away injured or killed, so quickly that the shoes are left behind. Photographically, I like how the color palette of the shoes and childrens' pants work together to move the eye over the interesting textures of the debris-covered ground and shrapnel-pocked walls.

An Haitian illegal worker is carried by another Haitian for a fee across the River Massacre between Haiti and Dominican Republic in Dajabon, some 225 miles northwest of Santo Domingo, Wednesday, March 21, 2007. Haitian migrants face systematic discrimination, violence and deportation without due process from the Dominican Republic, according to a report released Wednesday by human rights watchdog Amnesty International.
This picture gives a new perspective to commuting and "all in a day's work."

People walk around a church during midnight Easter mass in Tbilisi April 8, 2007.
At first glance this photo looked like an impressionist painting. The photographer made good use of motion blur in this photo.

Seattle Mariners lie in the snow at Jacobs Field, Sunday, April 8, 2007, in Cleveland.
Can you believe it? For the second day in a row, snow and cold weather forced a doubleheader between the Mariners and Indians to be postponed. Is this weird weather or what?

A woman, who is staying illegally on a road pavement, cooks in the open after her roof to her shelter was destroyed by the government in a drive to remove slums from the streets of Mumbai March 16, 2007.
This image reminded me of the photography book "Material World" where people around the world were asked to move all of their belongings to the outside of their house so a portrait could be taken. The images show in one glance how different populations live -- from what's important to them, to their financial status, to their level of consumption. This scene is reminiscent of that book, but done under duress instead of for art.

Parents perform yoga exercises with their babies at a yoga center in Xiamen, in southeast China's Fujian province Sunday April 1, 2007. The yoga exercise was specially developed for parents with babies and is intended to improve babies' attention and physical balance. The center, which started the baby yoga sessions Sunday, is charging 480 yuan for three months of weekly 45 minute sessions.
When I encountered this pic a couple days ago I thought blog readers might enjoy it. The bright orange shirt catches my eye, but the baby's face returns my attention to the rest of the people in the frame. Also, it's worth noting that 480 yuan equals about $60.

A U.S. army soldier from B Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment searches for weapons amid scattered garbage in west Baghdad's Ghazaliyah neighborhood, Iraq, Sunday, March 25, 2007. The U.S. and Iraqi forces continued house searches throughout the dangerous Sunni area of Ghazaliyah Sunday, discovering caches of weapons and ammunition.
What a wearisome task, to search through garbage for weapons.

A local resident falls off from his bicycle on a flooded street after a rainstorm hit Fuzhou, east China's Fujian province, July 16, 2006. Torrential rainstorms and flooding unleashed by Typhoon Bilis killed at least 154 people across southeast China, according to latest Xinhua and local news reports.
That's some fairly deep water the cyclist attempted to cross. Hopefully it didn't hurt, because it's a pretty funny picture - made so, for me, by capturing the moment of maximum water impact.

Palestinian members of the Jenin Martyrs brigades jump through a burning hoop during a training session in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on April 5.
The last time I checked there wasnt a huge need for security officers to be able to jump through flaming hoops. However, Im willing to admit that I might not know enough about law enforcement practices.

A villager touches the trunk of a marauding wild elephant in its final throes after being shot by villagers near Thammannawa, Sri Lanka on April 1. Sri Lankan farmers shoot wild animals to protect their crops and families, but many of the villagers are conflicted because killing animals goes against the tenets of Buddhism.
Pictures can elicit strong emotions, and sometimes our emotions get the best of us. I look at this picture and I feel angry. I want it to stop immediately. However, then I read the caption and I understand the difficulty the local people are going through. Its another one of those times when an easy answer eludes us.

Penitents take part in the procession of 'Fusionadas' brotherhood during Holy Week in Malaga April 4, 2007. Hundreds of Easter processions take place in Spain around the clock during Holy Week, drawing thousands of visitors.
Sometimes I can't put in to words why I like a photo. This is one such photo. I looked at it and then had to look at it again. Maybe it was the depth of the photo, the movement of her hat or the little boy seen between it. I just really adore this photo.

Two White Tree Nymph butterflies hold a branch on April 3 at the Papiliorama, Swiss tropical gardens, in Kerzers, Switzerland. The White Tree Nymph prefers coastal mangrove swamps and are common to Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Taiwan.
Forgive me. It's warm and sunny where I'm at today, and sometimes on warm spring days a boys mind will wander to rainbows, unicorns, ball games and pretty butterflies.

Actor Matthew Modine models during the annual Dressed to Kilt fashion show, Monday, April 2, 2007, in New York.
This fashion show was held to celebrate the collaboration of classic Scottish fashion with modern design. Do you think skirts for men will ever 'take-off?'

Circus performer Bello Nock examines his "Bitty Bike," a 15-inch chrome, custom-made bicycle the daredevil performer rides as part of his act. The bicycle went missing after Nock left it resting against a pole after giving an impromptu public performance on a midtown Manhattan street, March 30, 2007. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus is offering a $1000 reward for the return of the bicycle.
Seriously, who steals a clown's bicycle? Let alone a mini bike. it is not like you are going to be able to ride it anywhere without being noticed. So please please please people if you see someone riding a 15 inch bicycle contact your local authorities, before hundreds of kids go heart broken from not being able to see this clown ride his bitty bike.
