This image won first prize in the World Press Photo 2001 contest. It shows the Sanchez family at home in Las Colonias, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the United States.(Lara Jo Regan, USA, for Life magazine)

MAKING A POINT: An Israeli policeman argues with a Palestinian man in Jerusalem. (Amit Shabi, Reuters)

DESPERATE MEASURES: Exhausted immigrants arrive in Spain. The short passage from Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar to the Spanish coast is a route frequently used by immigrants. Small, overladen open boats often sink during the crossing and hundreds of people have drowned in this way. (Matias Costa, Agence Vu)

AFTERMATH: A bomb attack prompts panic outside the Moscow underground station.(Yuri Shtukin, Izvestia)

FLOOD CHAOS: Desperate people try to wade to safety during last year's floods in Mozambique.( Karel Prinsloo, South Africa, Sunday Times/Associated Press)

GRIM OMEN: Dead fish float on top of a polluted lake in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.(Antonio Scorza, Agence France Presse)

TAKING COVER: Palestinian youths try to dodge Israeli troops in Gaza. (Thomas Coex, Agence France Presse)

UNSTOPPABLE: American sprinter Marion Jones wins the 100m at the Sydney Olympics. This picture won first prize in the sports section of the World.

A T-shirt saying "Youth killed in the square i was born" - dedicated to Carlo's that lost his life on Genova G8 Streetfighting war of rights

This photo came after the contest, i havent locate the photo of the event on the web, not the most pleasant thing to see. Carlo's action shows that sometimes such "punks", as many people called him, care more than us about human rights. The majority of us are just viewers facing facts and events like watching TV.

Soul, I am impressed. This is the most educating post I've seen in a while ... makes you thinking.

Great Post Soul

I work with advertising and stuff like that... so I saw those before, but it's always great to remember how amazing pictures can get.

take care,

Bruno

PS: It's sad how 2 pics in the contest are about a nonsense (religious?) war
