The picture and the thousand words

The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words but some seem that are worth more than that. For one reason or the other I’ve started paying more attention to photography in the last weeks. By doing so a whole new world just opened the door a little more. There are some brilliant pictures taken at the exactly right time and some brilliant photographers that know how to be at the right place and at the right time.

Below are 3 examples of absolutely brilliant photography. I’ve linked the pictures to their appropriate source so just click on them to find out their story.

Shameless plug: I think this picture I made is quite good and this one too.

Go tell a story, make pictures!
