A Year in Pictures
Friday, December 24th, 2010 by:There’s something about the end of the year that makes us want to partake in rituals. For me, one of the things I love doing is looking through photo archives of the past year. The joyous occasions make me want to celebrate again, while the tragic ones make me feel even more blessed for what I have.
Few pictures have affected me the way this Haiti photo by Damon Winter for the New York Times has. I don’t know any parent who wouldn’t be destroyed by this image of of a father grieving over the body of a 10-month-old daughter, tossed in a heap after the January earthquake.
I invite all of you to share links to photos that have affected you. Joyous or tragic–they are reminders of how precious life is and how we need to be thankful every day for the blessings we have.
