"Picture Of The Day" Thread

jazz_fanatic, this picture was very famous in Turkey. It was used a lot on the calendars etc by the religious people and some communist groups as a propaganda material. There were also controversies over hypothetical questions like why didn't he help the child and he tried to catch a nice photo instead.

But you can find some basic info about the conditions of the place and the moment of the picture on wiki page of the photographer who committed suicide after a year he took the photo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Carter

A quote from the photographer's suicide note...

Pretty sure part of this story is told in the movie called "The Bang Bang Club".

No doubt. Especially for those that make it THE priority.

I am sincerely glad that after I sold my first company I took two years off and lived in the Florida Keys and just fished. Then I went back at it, sold another company, got married, took another year off. Went back to work, sold a company and, after a couple kids, took a year off. I'm kind of permanently off now, maybe.

Those that stayed after it and couldn't turn it off .. miserable. As are their wife and kids.

What happened to your employees when you did this each time?

Haha. My companies were acquired by much larger companies, not closed down. I guess they stayed employed but were subjected to more bureaucracy than previously endured.

I can't find the original shot from a couple years ago, but the hubble telescope was pointed at an empty region of space and left the exposure on for a while. It came out with hundreds of galaxies and crazy stuff that have never been observed before. This picture is similar, but I wish I could find the original one I saw.

The universe is inconceivably massive.
