Many of the pictures on this are likely the work of a photojournalist. In a nutshell, photojournalism involves using images to convey a story. The practice began during the American Civil War in the 1860s when photographs accompanied news reports.
But photojournalism didn’t enter its golden age until the 1920s. Around this time, smaller cameras began entering the scene after being invented in Germany in 1925.

What sets a photojournalist apart from a photographer is their code of ethics. Images must convey the truth and tell all sides of the story, regardless of how unpleasant or graphic they can get.
Likewise, time is of the essence. Photojournalists must feature subjects currently talked about in the world or among a group of people.

Our world is a lot less bright with these two gone from it. Rest in peace "for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come".
Photography, on the other hand, is a form of self-expression. A photographer’s primary goal is to showcase the human condition in its rawest form, as seen in many of the pictures on this list.
That raises the question, is photography an art form? According to Adobe Research Principal Scientist Aaron Hertzmann, there have been debates about it. As he explains in an article for Medium, artists like painters initially saw photography as a “threat to ‘real art.’”

Eventually, artists like the great Vincent Van Gogh learned to accept photography as a supplement to art. However, they believe an artist can capture something a camera cannot.
“Van Gogh and many other artists of their generation viewed realism as the job of photography,” Hertzmann wrote. “And the goal of the real artist was to find a way to go beyond realism—to do something that cameras could not do.”

His pilot was invalided out of duty with an ailment and so the plane could not join the squadron for the battle of Okinawa. The carrier was attacked by kamikazes and all of the rest of the squadron died in the attack. Joanne helped him get over his PTSD and survivor's guilt. Nobody was as hoo; as Paul and Joanne.

Yes yes, sad about the seneca village - but seriously, that street-design is MADNESS. The wind will be rushing through those long-ar se streets and it looks really terrible, too. Wow. It's not as visible with the higher buildings nowadays, but it's clear even back then, the city-designers were all pro-cars and not pro-sense.
Jrog 10 months ago (edited)
A few notes. Seneca Village was a small hamlet, about 50 buildings, housing 1500 people. About 40% of the inhabitants were whites from Irish descent, not blacks. The city was in a hurry to get the park started, and paid the landowners (about half the population) what was technically above market rate for the lands and buildings, but received backlash from people who argued the rate should have been higher since the land was going to appreciate even more with the city growth. The issues were with the other half, the renters -that fought to stay in their homes despite those were sold to the city-; with people using the fields illegally for animal grazing; and with a few holdouts that went on to fight the purchase and renounced the buyout until it was mandated by a tribunal at worse conditions.

Time for me to p**s off quite a lot of folks. Let's see just how many downvotes this gets, shall we? The person on the right is Violette Morris. Violette was a renowned race car driver in France, who won two gold and one silver medal at the Women's World Games in 1921–1922. She was invited to the 1936 Summer Olympics by Adolf Hitler as one of his honored guests. During the war, she actively worked with the Nazis, performing both collaborative work with them, and as a spy. She became known as the "Hyena of the Gestapo", before she was killed by the French Resistance who gunned her down as she drove. Morris's body, riddled with bullets, was taken to a morgue, where it remained unclaimed for months. She was buried in an unmarked communal grave.

Probably where she got her name. Probably really Gertrude or something.

Are we sure her name is Krystal? Because the sign in the back makes it seem like it's the Krystal burger chain.

The old Collegeville costumes with the plastic masks. We bought those almost every year.

Yup and the printed trashbag as a "costume". I remember the little slit for you to, supposedly, breathe through was always sharp as hell

He was a fcktard who harrassed animals for sh*ts and giggles. And his son isn't much better.

A baby? Did he grab a random baby from the crowd? No, he did not! It's his son, Robert.

Does it matter whose baby it was? Is it somehow okay if it's your own child you are neglecting?

A Rare Photo From Saddam Hussein’s Engagement Day In 1963
Ruthie R 10 months ago
Saddam and Stalin bucked the usual trend of ugly dictators, in youth at least.
Edgar Rops 10 months ago
In his later years, Stalin looked imposing (apart from the fact that he was quite short), whilst Saddam looked like a gangster.

The Toilet At NYC Club Cbgb - By Chris Stein
Leg less In Minneapolis 10 months ago
Been there, not much in that place was clean. But we were there for the music
StrangeOne 10 months ago
The toilet is a lot whiter than I thought it would be. The rest is what I would expect and worse.

I used that bathroom back in the day, and I never caught COVID. Coincidence? I think not.

BP won't let us view scary words like murder and killing and d***s and such but show us a photo of people being actually executed? That's pretty f****d up.

A million other pictures of killers and criminals and their victims but THIS is where the commenariat draws the line? The elimination of these monsters?
Lara Verne 10 months ago
There's plenty of photos of Ceaușescu couple, you really couldn't find a better one? People should know who they were and what they did, but photograph showing their execution shouldn't be on site, that supposedly publish articles about harmless and entertaining things.
Colin Matthews 10 months ago
Not at all heartbreaking. They were a monstrous pair, guilty of some vile crimes. The only shame was they couldn't be shot twice.

Interesting that, much later, his son and daughter-in-law both went missing in 1981 & have never been found.

They probably changed their names and disappeared. I would.
