| This picture was taken by Jack Bradley of Harold Whittles as a doctor places an earpiece in his left ear, giving him his first taste of sound. My eyes were drawn to this photo, I think, because of the look of shock on Whittles' face, it made me want to know what had surprised him so much. The amazement of hearing for the first time must be huge, and it represents a step forward in medical sciences of all kinds. |

| A four-month-old baby girl, still in her pink bear suit, was miraculously saved from the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami after being missing for four days. Taken by Yomiuri Shimbun, this picture is in wonderful focus and represents a miracle. You can see the terrible wasteland the area had become in the back ground, while right up front is the baby girl, unharmed and innocent. |

| This photo, taken by Goran Tomasevic, is a Sudan People's Liberation Army soldier standing attention as South Sudan is granted independence from Sudan. One of the reasons I was drawn to this picture is the clarity. You could count the drops of sweat over his nose, running down his cheeks. I feel like I could reach out and feel the material of the soldier's hat. The photo also stands as a very important symbol, a last salute as freedom is won, an acknowledgement of everything that was lost in the effort. |
