Getty Images

I found the website for Getty Images after finding them listed among recent award winners. I found their photos to be very interesting and moving. 

The are inspiring to me because I would like to go and take pictures of that which can bring awareness to Americans. I find that you can't really know about a place until you go there and experience it. And by experience it I mean 'do as the Romans do' so to speak, and talk with the 'Romans' to see how they view their life. 

If America view something as wrong, is it really wrong, or could it just be a cultural difference? Here are some interesting shots. I do like to keep in mind that photographers have an extreme power over their viewers. The viewer is not in the same position and knowing the same things about the photo so they can be deceiving.
