Wow, r4's photographer had death threats from Japanese nationalists for those photo series, and had to have the Brits protect him in Hong Kong.
Wong filmed more newsreels covering Japanese attacks in China, including the Battle of Xuzhou in May 1938 and aerial bombings in Guangzhou in June. He operated under British protection, but continued death threats from Japanese nationalists drove him to leave Shanghai with his family and to relocate to Hong Kong.

Six-year-old Austrian boy, Werfel, was photographed when he got a new pair of shoes at the Am Himmel orphanage, donated to him by the Junior Red Cross in the United States of America.
The photograph was shot by Gerald Waller, in 1946, and was titled “New Shoes”. The little boy, Werfel, was among the children who were brought to the USA after being deported from Israel / Palestine, where they arrived after liberation from the concentration camps.

[quote] R119: [R116] ... postmortem photography was a big practice in 19th century Europe and America, here is the Wikipedia article about it...
My ancestral cousin was a portrait artist in a New England fishing village in the decades immediately before photography became commonplace. One of his side gigs was a common practice at the time: he would create a collection of generic paintings of children. When a child in the community died, the parents would select one of these paintings. My cousin would then attend the child’s viewing, and paint the child’s face on the body in the portrait. The parents would then have a remembrance of their deceased child. One of the “tells” of his postmortem paintings, aside from the subject, is that they are of a lesser quality than the portraits he usually painted of the town’s merchants; which reflects the relative amount of time he had to spend on the paintings, and the financial resources of the art patrons. (I don’t know if the specific, linked portraits were postmortem or not, but these are the same era and style.)

The sculpture is in a protected area (set back and maybe had a plexiglass barrier). The church is dark and if you want to get a better look, you drop coins into the box in front of the sculpture. The lights go on for a set time and you can better see the sculpture.

R149, yes it is. The Social Security program was only implemented 3 years prior to when the picture was taken, and because many people were jobless and had become transients, their SS cards were getting worn, torn, or missplaced. And, people weren't used to memorizing nine long digits, so they had them tattooed on their person. It actually became a trend for awhile.

This 1982 photo of Boston Red Sox player Jim Rice carrying an injured kid to an ambulance. The kid got drilled in the head by a line drive and Rice ran out of the dugout, into the stands, grabbed the kid, and sprinted to the ambulance. The kid had brain surgery and fully recovered.
The look of determination on Rice’s face is what makes this memorable to me.

Sam, an injured koala, getting a drink of water after the 2009 Australian bushfires.
She survived the fire, but sadly had to be put down due to an advanced case of chlamydia. It had affected her bladder and uterus and wasn’t treatable.
I wasn’t aware that around 50% of koalas have that disease. How awful.

The lunch counter protests were really emotionally moving, IMO. (I saw "Eyes on the Prize.") You take it for granted that you can eat wherever you want to eat. Or you ask: "Why do you want to be somewhere you're not wanted?" It's a different story when you are so hated and told you *can't* eat somewhere. It's basic human dignity that's at stake.

It took me a while to understand how this happened. And it wasn’t an overnight thing- The Hutu propaganda against the Tutsis had been going on for a long time.

Before the 1990 magazine photo of the family surrounding the man dying of AIDS, the photographer Nicholas Nixon had been working on his ground breaking series of young men dying of AIDS for many years. It was very controversial both in the art world and with the LGBT community. The image here was of a Harvard grad student whose brain was being eaten away by toxoplasmosis. He found it ironic that AIDS was killing him that way while all the pretty boys were covered in lesions. His father was a doctor and mother a nurse. There was a whole book published on the series. He also did a series about the same time of old people dying, which was controversial as well. But what he’s most known for is photographing his wife and her three sisters once a year for over 40 years in the same pose. It’s called the Brown Sisters.

Floyd and Lucille Burroughs on Porch, Hale County, Alabama by Walker Evans, 1936
During the Great Depression, "Fortune" magazine wanted to do a feature on the plight of tenant farmers in the American South. Walker Evans spent several weeks documenting the harsh existence of three families who grew cotton on a dry hillside seventeen miles north of Greensboro, Alabama.
This is Evans's portrait of a father and daughter. Lucille Burroughs at age ten could pick 150 pounds of cotton a day. She also inherited a less useful legacy: her parents' lifelong debt to a landlord who owned their cabin, farm, tools, mules, and the product of all their labor.

Hachiko the loyal dog who waited for his deceased owner outside the train station every day for 9 years. The Akita breed dog and his owner, professor Dr. Ueno, would walk to the Shibuya station every morning where Ueno would take the train to work. Hachiko would wait for him every afternoon at the same spot where Ueno bid him goodbye in the morning. One day Ueno didn’t return because he died suddenly at work from a brain hemorrhage.
Hachiko was unaware of course, and would go to the same spot every day at around 3pm for the train that Ueno used to take to come home. The station workers and commuters soon came to be touched by Hachiko’s loyalty and looked out for him when he came by. Hachiko was eventually taken in by Ueno family’s gardener but every day without fail the Akita would trek to Shibuya station to greet his owner.
This went on until Hachiko died, by then there were newspaper stories written about him. His death was mourned by the nation because he became a symbol of loyalty. There are a few famous statues of Hachiko and Ueno. Most famous is that of Hachiko himself in front of one entrance to Shibuya station. It’s become a tourist spot and landmark where people would meet for the first time on dates or reunions.
The photo of Hachiko waiting just outside the station gets me every time.

The above picture from 2012 has recently resurfaced, and the event it captured will probably bring tears to your eyes. The man in the wheelchair is 90-year-old World War 2 veteran, Archie Hackney. While Hackney is generally wheelchair bound, when he saw the President of the United States, he pushed himself up to stand for the Commander-in-Chief. This is the first time Hackney has ever met a sitting President.

1977 Pulitzer winning photo of Attorney, Ted Landsmark, being beaten by a wolf pack of anti-busing protesters in Boston. Late for a meeting at City Hall, Landsmark, was set upon by the mob. One of his attackers, Joseph Rakes, swung a flag pole at Landsmark, who fell and was left bloodied with a broken nose. Landsmark, a Yale graduate, would go on to distinguish himself as a Professor at Northeastern University. Rakes, who served no time for the assault, would go on to beat to death the girlfried of his brother; he would serve no jail time for this crime either. Rakes is married with children.

The Queen and her aide were taking a walk one day when they happened upon a village person. The VP didn’t recognize the Queen and when she heard that they were from the Queen’s estate, she asked the Queen if she had ever met the Queen. The Queen pointed to her aide and replied, “No, but he has.”
There was some other story about the Queen rummaging around in her garden in the early morning hours. Apparently her whereabouts are normally known by her staff at all times, but not this time, and he security staff was about to tackle her, thinking she was an intruder.
Then there are all the stories about her running around, turning the lights out to save electricity.
There is a story about the state visit of Communist dictator Nikolai Chechesko of Rumania. He had been hosted in Paris at a former royal palace, and when they left, the French discovered that they had looted various royal antiques. The French President called the Queen while the dictator was on route, telling her, “they took everything”. So then, the Queen ran around the where ever they were hosting the Rumania leader, grabbing all the small antiques she could find and removing them from the location.

One last Queeny thing: despite the Queen being the most widely travelled British monarch, she never visited the USSR out of personal disapproval for the Communist rule, but also because of the 1918 murder of her cousins. That’s one long memory! She did finally visit Russia after the fall of Communism.

R152, R169, the back story of the sculpture of The Ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila, by Bernini, is the two central sculptural figures of the swooning nun and the angel with the spear derive from an episode described by Teresa of Avila, a mystical cloistered Discalced Carmelite reformer and nun, in her autobiography, The Life of Teresa of Jesus (1515–1582). Her experience of religious ecstasy in her encounter with the angel is described as follows:
[italic] I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying. [/italic]
The thing I find so fascinating about this vision that the Saint had, is the obvious sexual imagery in the vision as she describes it, and the complete absence of any commentary on that imagery, that I have ever found.

R467 inspires me. Linked is the Hubble Deep Field. The Hubble telescope was pointed towards a small patch of space that was almost completely free of visible space objects. Over some period of time, the camera resolved over 3000 items, most of which were not individual stars, but were entire galaxies. This bolstered the theory that the universe is far larger than had ever been imagined before the modern age.
It was only in 1924 that Hubble concluded that the Andromeda cluster was not situated within the Milky Way, but was its own galaxy and located a previously inconceivable distance further away. Until that discovery, many astronomers believed that the Milky War was the only galaxy in existence, and that everything was located within it.
Today, we are at or near the limit of the observable universe. This means that we might expect that there are objects even further away than we can see, but these objects will never be seen because they are so far away, that light from those objects hasn’t had, and will never have, enough time to cross the universe and reach our telescopes or eyes. The history of astronomy has repeatedly found that we are not at the center of anything.

One of the most telling fingerprints left behind by the Big Bang is cosmic microwave background radiation. This thermal radiation was thought to be left over from the Big Bang itself. It fills the universe almost completely. I don’t personally understand all this, particularly how a two dimensional map represents a three dimensional event, but am still awed by this image of that fingerprint.
The current thinking by astronomers is that the Big Bang created both time and space, so there is no such thing as “before” the Big Bang. We naturally expect cause-and-effect, but in this case, it’s just nonsensical to think that way, Likewise, the four forces of gravity, electromagnetism, the string nuclear force and weak nuclear force, were all created after the Big Bang.
Astronomers also believe that very early on, the universe underwent “expansion” at greater than the speed of light. Nothing physical can go faster than light, but the expansion of space can, and did.
They also believe that all galaxies are essentially flying away from each other. How could that be possible? To imagine that, consider an air balloon, on which one a number of Xs are marked. If you blow the balloon up further, you can see that all the markings increase their distance from each other.
You know how skaters might form a line whip line while circling? The skaters at the center rotate slowly, while skaters at the end of the whip line are forced to skate very fast, as they whip-around the center? Astronomers would likewise expect that the stars at a great distance from the center of the Milky Way would require great speed to orbit the galaxy’s center, or they would be flung out of the universe. Instead, they find that these stars do not rotate at such great speed, and they don’t know why. Today, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy are essentially placeholders until this mystery of the whip line is better understood,
I enjoy the poetry in the understanding that the Big Bang theory is completely consistent with the ancient myth that [italic] “God said, let there be light, and there was light”. [/italic]

The boy at R513 is Diego Frazão Torquato. He was a violin student at the Orquestra de Cordas, a social project of AfroReggae, coordinated by professor Evandro João da Silva.
Diego spent his childhood in Parada de Lucas, a poor neighborhood in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. He faced many challenges. At the age of four, he had meningitis and pneumonia. Even so, he learned to play the violin through classes offered in the community by his teacher Evandro, coordinator of the social projects of the NGO AfroReggae.
On October 18, 2009, the music teacher was murdered in a robbery in downtown Rio.
Newspaper photographer Marcos Tristão attended the music teacher's funeral and took the picture. Among the dozens of students from the string orchestra who played at the funeral, the photographer's attention was particularly drawn to Diego because he let all his feelings show in that moment of homage to the teacher and cried while playing his violin.

I was living in the city then and would go down to the park to walk through these. It was an interesting project, and didn’t stay too long- only a couple of weeks if I remember correctly.

I think Doris Day and the Queen are running neck and neck for the most photos in the thread.

This guy had a long standing pact with his best friend that when one of them died, the other would wear a bright colored dress and socks to the funeral. The friend was killed in Afghanistan, and this is a photo of his buddy honoring their agreement.

I went to elementary school with a Thalidomide kid in the late 80s.
He was such an asshole. Seriously.

Mother Theresa was vile. Humorless, unpleasant, fake, and a sadist.

Che Guevara, captured pretty much accidentally during the mass funeral of victims of a suspicious 1960 freighter explosion (Fidel Castro blamed the US). As the photographer was taking photos of Castro delivering the eulogy, Guevara appeared in the shot for a couple of seconds. He only appears in two frames; one of which the photographer called " Guerrillero Heroico", and is the basis for the most iconic image of Che.
