Amazing but Sad Photos
 
The World press photo foundation runs a competition every year and is celebrating its 50th year, there are some remarkable but harrowing photos among them.

12 Pictures That have won over the years (Maybe NSFW some dead bodies on some no nudity)

Discussion from the photographers of a further five including one from the Gulf War, enlarge the fire escape one and amazing photo.

Gulf War and others SFW

I have never seen anything as sad as the 1983 winner. The mother crying over her five dead children... The photographer's quote beautifully describes a parents love.... "While her screams pierced my heart, it seemed like she thought her love could will them back to life."

amazingly sad

Bad, but I think this one is far worse. If it's so heartbreaking the photographer commits suicide after, you might not want to look.

50 years of suffering and sadness... Really puts things in perspective for how lucky a lot of us are even if we might think our lives are not all that great some days.

Thanks for the links.
