Riveting Images

I decided, as a partly creative outlet, to post images/media/articles that have captured my attention, possibly changing the way I view the world.




Riots in Egypt over President Mubarak


Tsunami Damage in Japan, bodies of the departed.


Nakba 2011, Palestine.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba_Day


Above: The Fiance of a slain social worker protests the judges ruling. 

The article which is found here http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/17/us/17MENTAL.html?scp=1&sq=murdered%20social%20worker&st=cse chronicles the last few years of a paranoid killers life leading to the murder. Their was a hugely satanic undertone that seemed to be brushed aside which has lead me to consider what mental illness really could be, or in some part that is. This isn't the way things should be.
