70 Rare And Powerful Photos From This History-Focused Online Community (New Pics)
Interview
The world has seen lots of talented and capable photographers throughout history. But not everyone’s work gets as much time in the spotlight as it should. But if you spend time digging through the historical archives looking for iconic snapshots, it’s well worth the effort.
‘Utterly Unique Photos’ is a fantastic history and photography-oriented online community that shares vintage (mostly but not always) black-and-white historical photos. We’ve collected some of the most interesting ones, recently featured by members of the group, to give you a glimpse into the past from a fresh perspective. Scroll down for a trip through time.
Meanwhile, Bored Panda reached out to Daniel Holland, the founder of ‘Utterly Unique Photos’ and the ‘Utterly Interesting’ brand, for a friendly chat about his projects and iconic photography. You’ll find our interview with him below.

Hangu, Pakistan (1/6/2014) — 15 Year Old Aitzaz Hasan Is Confronted By A Strange Man Attempting To Enter His Local High School
Upon noticing explosives strapped to the man’s chest, Hasan tackled him, refusing to allow him inside. He did not survive. His actions saved 2000 of his fellow students.

Compare to Uvalde, Texas, where upon hearing that there was active shooter, Salvador Ramos, seen on the school lawn, a teacher opened a door, allowing him in despite the lockdown. THEN, as he started k*****g people one by one, dozens of law enforcement officials (LEOs) arrived and instead of stopping him, simply prevented anyone from attempting to rescue the kids. The kids had been drilled to stay still, stay in the school, and wait for LEOs to arrive. He had hours to k**l the kids. Finally, an off-duty ICE agent saw him through a window and shot him dead. Had a staffer not propped the door open, he would never have gotten in. Had the kids not been told to stay put and wait for LEOs, some would have escaped. Had LEOs served or protected the public, there may only have been a few casualties.
BrunoVI 4 weeks ago (edited)
UPDATE: Local officers had grazed him, and believed they had him trapped in an office. They were ordered out of the building, allowing the shooter to escape. The school announced the students were safe, and the school safely locked down at 11:43. Most or all of the killings happened after this, while numerous calls of reported killings poured in from student, trapped, waiting rescue. The shooter was finally k****d at 12:50. Off-duty Border Patrol agents actually shot him, after entering an unlocked door that the police falsely reported locked.

A Mongolian Girl Having A Laugh With Her Camel. The Little Girl’s Name Is Butedmaa And She Was Just 5 When This Picture Was Taken In 2003 By Photographer Han Chengli
Bored Panda was curious to learn about the success of all the subreddits that Daniel runs. "I think they succeed because they celebrate curiosity and the simple joy of finding something truly unique," the founder told us via email.
"Each post feels like a small discovery, an unusual photograph, forgotten story, or historical oddity. I would think users keep returning because the content is timeless, educational, and visually striking," he said.
"Unlike fast-paced social feeds, these communities focus on genuine intrigue and context, and contributors often add researched background details, which really adds to the content," Daniel told us.

He doesn't. Doesn't everyone have that one uncle or neighbor that has always looked the same? My dad had a rough life with mental illness but when I took in his high school pic and a photo of him from 20 years ago when he was on life support the ICU nurses even said he still looks handsome. He was a good hearted man just like Bernie. Ugly eventually creeps out, that's why people need makeup and plastic surgery.

Sorry to burst bubbles here, but Bernie is only out for Bernie. I served on multiple state commissions in Vermont under both Republican and Democratic governors. Bernie ONLY supports ideas that have no chance of succeeding because he's then never at risk. We tried repeatedly to get Bernie to join us on workplace child-care initiatives, strengthening of school-to-work transitions for non-college bound students, and worker safety. No interest. (Before I get completely trashed by Bernie-lovers, I agree with his sentiments but I challenge you to find anything he's ever accomplished that wasn't started by someone else.) Regardless of genuine efforts by people serious about making real change, Bernie's usual contribution was to say "it didn't go far enough." Bernie as President only looks good because Howdy Doody would look good compared to our current leader. (Sigh! Let the downvotes begin.)

From Algerian War (1958)... A French Foreign Legion Soldier Carried A Starving Donkey... They Rescued It And Later The Donkey Became Their Unit Mascot Going By The Name 'Bambi'
Sofia 4 weeks ago
I have saw this picture captioned... "Dear family this is a picture of me with my donkey during the campaign. I am the one below"
LookASquirrel 4 weeks ago
Trigger warning sadness... Yet the man photod the starving child stalked by a vulture because he was supposedly told to not interfere/intervene with the local conflict. Also conflicting stories on his reasons. His name was Kevin Carter and he offèd himself shortly after winning a Pulitzer Prize for the photo he bragged about capturing. It's depressing that this man is saving a donkey, which I love, but a man with a camera couldn't pick up a starving baby.
Jude Corrigan 2 weeks ago (edited)
So if he had picked up the baby and provided food. What would happen when he left? How would the child be fed then? Should the photographer have saved that one child but left others to their fate? I am not trying to be nasty to you but it is a very idealistic view that the one photographer should or could have saved that child.

We were also interested in getting the creator's thoughts on taking iconic photographs that will stand the test of time.

"It tells a universal story that remains powerful long after its moment has passed."

Forrest Hobbs 3 weeks ago (edited)
Sara Frazer: I'm a human being who's defending the RULE OF LAW! - what does it matter where I'm from? If you check your notes, you'll see that I've been pointing out that if someone is accused of a crime, they should be arrested and put on trial rather than just plain kílled. All it is is this: Osama bin Laden was accused of crimes and should have been tried in a court of law. Check your notes again: it's considered Bad Form even in the USA to just shoot people dead on the basis of allegations. Look up Adolf Eichmann: he was one of the chief architects of the Hólocaust with oh so much more metaphorical blood on his hands than Osama. Israel sent a team in to Argentina to kidnap him and put him on trial in Israel. They could easily have just kílled him in Argentina - but no, Israel decided that one of the worst N@zi war criminals still alive deserved a fair trial (after which they hanged him dead). What excuse does the USA have for failing to give Osama the same treatment? The US sent a team in which could have extracted him.

Meanwhile, he shared his advice for anyone thinking of experimenting with black-and-white photography in this day and age.
"For those exploring photography today, focus on light, texture, and composition. Pay attention to how shadows and contrast shape emotion, and aim to evoke feeling rather than perfection," Daniel told Bored Panda.
"In a world saturated with images, black-and-white remains timeless because it makes us pause and actually look properly, so black-and-white is a great place to start."

Soviet War Veteran Standing Near The Eternal Flame On The Anniversary Of Victory Day In 1966
David 4 weeks ago (edited)
The Soviets took high losses and played a critical role in defeating Hitler. But a lot of their losses were due to Stalin's poor judgement, from trusting Hitler to honor his 5 year pact (when he broke every other pacts) to executing the intel officers who gave him weeks before the German invasion the info that Germany was going to invade, as well as copies of German plans their spies got, to refusing to release reserves in the opening days of the German invasion, to in 1940 ordering all the fixed defenses deep in Soviet territory destroyed, bc he felt inner defenses was defeatists, so when his front lines fell, there was nothing to stop the germans, and so on. He even gave days before the German Invasion an order to execute any general that would attack German troops crossing the border or planes over the border bc "the germans were looking to provoke a response", etc. And later Stalin wasted many good troops and civilians bc of his pride based policies rather than best strategy

“Initially, I created r/UtterlyBizarre at the end of 2022 to mirror what I was posting on my Twitter channel. But it was pointed out that some of the content I posted was more interesting than bizarre,” he said.
Reacting to this, Daniel decided to expand.
“So I set up r/UtterlyInteresting a month later to share articles and videos that interest me. One of my key areas of interest is photography and history, and I felt I was posting quite a lot of this to the r/UtterlyInteresting subreddit, and it would probably sit better on its own subreddit, hence r/UtterlyUniquePhotos,” he shared.
According to the founder of ‘Utterly Unique Photos,’ he didn’t want to simply contribute to other online groups that already existed.
He wanted niches to truly call his own. “One of the reasons I set them [the subreddits] up was because I wanted to be free of the rules employed by more established subreddits.”

That being said, leading several popular subreddits can be quite challenging. “As they've grown, I realize I may need to implement submission rules, as all the subreddits are completely open to submissions, and spreading myself across 3 subreddits containing 100k members can be a challenge," the creator told Bored Panda at the time. (The 4th subreddit was founded later.)
Meanwhile, Daniel also has a personal blog, ‘Utterly Interesting,’ where he shares interesting stories in a different format, with more depth. "Some of the bigger pages on Reddit saw this as self-promotion, so I thought I'd set up my own pages and not be concerned about Reddit moderators," he said.

A Then 118-Year-Old Sarah Knauss Posing For A Family Photo, United States, 1998

Knauss attributed her longevity to “keeping calm and not letting things upset her.” She witnessed a world that transformed from horse-drawn carriages to space travel. She passed in 1999 at 119 years and 97 days

It’s absolutely insane. When I was growing up there was an older man in our neighborhood who had terrible scars like those in the photo from smallpox. He was a very nice man and didn’t want kids to be scared of him so he would always explain and say to us how lucky we were to get vaccinated. Now some people would rather take their chances than take their medicine. What a slap to all those who had no option.

Tsar Nicholas II’s Daughters Shaved Their Heads After Losing Their Hair In Clumps Due To Measles. 1917 From Left To Right, Grand Duchesses: Anastasia, Tatiana, Olga And Maria
Sally Moen 4 weeks ago
Hair loss isn't a side effect of measles that I knew about. I know about blindness and going deaf, plus other complications. And without a vaccine, the only choice was to try to survive measles at home in a dark room. Must have been quite traumatic to cut off their hair in the days when it was fashionable to have waist-length hair.
FreeTheUnicorn 4 weeks ago
The measles rash often starts or spreads to the head, which can cause hair loss. But more commonly hair loss is a side effects of being ill, especially common in folks with autoimmune issues. Viruses cause this more often than other types of illness but any experience of being very ill cN result in hair loss.

We don't get a lot of snow here in the middle of NC. One lady that I worked with in Durham and lived in Raleigh normally took about 30 mins to getting home...took almost 5 hours that day. They closed all of our clinics and schools closed, it was icy under the snow and people were driving 2 freaking fast or were following 2 close that caused a lot of the accidents. You should have seen it in January of 2000 when we got 2 feet of snow. Me and the kids were stuck at home for 2 weeks. My husband worked at a power company for almost 40 years. The phone rang at about 2:30 that morning & they called the whole line crew in. I got up and made his breakfast while he was in the shower and a bunch of sandwiches for the 4 guys on the truck. When they go out like that you don't know when they will get back home. There's a little country store that the owners live next door and they always had coffee, soup and sandwiches that they gave to the guys.

this is shortly after the adoption of boxing gloves, which made the sport quite a bit more dangerous than it had been. contrary to what many people think, the idea of a boxing glove is not to protect the other persons face from damage, but your own knuckles. when boxing switched from bare knuckle to gloved, the punches got faster and harder becasue you no longer risked breaking your hands from a single punch. in fact, when the rules changed the heavyweight champ was a bareknuckle fighter and was knocked out in like the second round by his opponent with gloves on. more boxers have died due to fights after the adoption of gloves than before it.
