Photo Essays

A photo essay is a group of pictures that when put together tell a story. Today, I was able to look at many great photo essays at http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/. I enjoyed all of them. Some of them are on animals, people and environment but you can see photo essays in many more categories. My personal favorites were the Harbin International Ice and Snow festival 2012(very pretty i wish I could see that in real life),  Costa Concordia cruise ship runs aground off coast of Italy and 50 best photos from The Natural World but my all time favorite that I recommend you check out is a beautiful photo essay on ground zero. It's called  Ground Zero: September 11, 2001 - September 11, 2011. It's an excellent photo essay that shows our struggle to get back up. It shows us rising from the ashes to create something beautiful. It shows our power to transform ashes to art. In the 10 years between the day this happened and September 11, 2011, we were able to pick up the pieces and build a memorial in remembrance of the day the World Trade Center was attacked. The pictures show the hard work and dedication to build this while remembering the day. Every year we remember this day and give thanks to the firefighters and policemen that helped save lives of our loved ones, now we have a memorial to thank them. From now on, on 9/11 we can look at Ground Zero, remember where we were and be thankful for where we are now.
