Earlier today, a friend of mine shared on Facebook a posting from Buzzfeed. The posting was described as: "a moving collection of iconic photographs from the last 100 years that demonstrate the heartbreak of loss, the tremendous power of loyalty, and the triumph of the human spirit" and I was reminded of the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Most of us have seen photos that have changed our lives in some way and those moments remain fresh in our memories whenever we see those images. Whether we're talking about John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s salute toward his father's coffin or the Australian man who kisses his Canadian girlfriend during the Vancouver riots, each of these photos is a reminder of the unbelievable power that an image can hold.
