The first photo that really interested me was from the Washington Post website.  The photo was from World Food Day, and showed Pakistanis who were reacing desperatley to recieve food.  What was really captured in the photo were the eyes of an older man, and two other children which could have potentially been his children.  The hunger and desperation in their eyes was very intense because it shows the reality of their situation and the fact that they have an immense struggle to get food.  The food was given out from a shrine in Islamabad, with the caption stating that The World Bank has predicted that food and fuel costs will soon enough increase the number of malnourhised people to 1 billion.  The photo was really touching and informative as to what was going on in the world.  The link is here http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2008/10/17/GA2008101701969.html.

The next photo was showing the ashes left over from a house that was burned down in Los Angeles, California.   The photo was interesting because it captured only the remains of certain things in their houses that some may look over.  In the photo where lamps, a stove, pots, pans, etc. It was a heartbreaking photo, capturing the emotion, and though the three people in the photo were not showing any emotion, you feel their pain as they rummage through what was once their home. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2008/10/14/GA2008101401072.html

The next photo was the most interesting and powerful in my opinion, because it captured the slightly disfigured and scarred face of a young women who said that the toxic waste dumped in the ivory coast had caused her face to look this way.  It showed how much impact we have on the world and how things that many of us may think are harmless, are actually extremley detrimental to the earth and can injure and scar other people.  The pain the young woman is expressing through her eyes will hopefully give many other readers motivation to start treating the world better and being cautious of how we are affecting others.
