The Power of Images

An image can have a huge impact of us. Our emotions, thoughts, beliefs, can be altered or unchanged. 
The following images are taken from National Geographic website photography page. While viewing them ask yourself...

How does this make me feel?
What is the story here?
What is the context or background?
Do I like this image?
Did this image have an impact on me?

With all this in mind it makes the photograph even more timeless and enjoyable.


Dance Practice, Australia
Friends for over 40 years, ballroom dancers Mary Hall, 85, and Gerald Kavanagh, 80, practice on a warm spring evening in Bendigo, Australia.

Cow and Shepard, India
A young bovine finds safety and solace with her shepherd father. She was very nervous and tentative when I was taking pictures of the surroundings nearby, and sensing my presence she gradually moved toward the comfort of the shepherd.

Orangutan, London Zoo
A London Zoo favorite is Mr. Jiggs, a six-year-old orangutan capable of mopping his own quarters.


Polar Bear and Cubs, Svalbard, Norway
In a far north without ice, a mother bear could be stranded a long way from good hunting, struggling to feed herself and her cubs. This snow-free scene near Kapp Fanshawe (Cape Fanshawe) offers a glimpse of what may be the Arctic's rockier future. 

Carousel, Wales
In the middle of a long journey in the U.K. while walking at Cardiff Bay in Wales, I was distracted by children screaming in happiness on a carousel. I could hardly remember the last time I was on one of those but could clearly remember the joy.

Enjoy!
