Chinese teenager stands in front a column of tanks – Tiananmen Square – June 5, 1989.  He was not seen anywhere after that.  Rumor has it that he was executed a few weeks after that incident.

  2. These photos speak a lot. The good old saying: a picture is worth a thousand words.

  3. I guess many more such incidents weren't captured on camera. Glad that some, like these, were. But nowadays, there is just too much camera everywhere!

    1. Thanks for your comments Rajesh. You are correct. A cameraman should be present at the right moment and at the right time. That is why many such incidents are never captured.

      Wait for a more heart-wrenching incident with photo in my next week's blog post.
