I just feel so humble and inadequate. I am sure that the image of the man on all for fours will stay with me for a long time to come .

That is extremely hard viewing but I would encourage everyone to go and look. Really brings it home what a cruel and unjust world we live in and just how fortunate we all are.

That is a truly amazing set of images. Thank you for sharing it Vidster.
The photographer deserves all the accolades in his bio page without a doubt.
The child on his metal bed in a romanian orphanage will stay with me...........
Loops.
So many images to make us realise how lucky we are to live in a society where we can walk out with little fear of being killed, and shop for food without worrying where the next meal is coming from, and to voice our opinions without fear of persecution.
Thanks Vidster, those images are hard hitting and very thought provoking.
