 A women walking her dog found the child in a bag on the rocky shore line of the Boston harbor. Baby Bella was allegedly killed by her mother's boyfriend (McCarthy) because he thought she was possessed and "it was her time to die." The criminal complaint against McCarthy says that bond told police McCarthy killed Bella "by punching her in the stomach until she stopped breathing." This is such a heartbreaking story, I really don't know how someone can do this terrible act to someone they love and care about. The baby was only three years old, she trusted her family. 

Migrant Crisis

These pictures were taking by a Turkish news agency. Three year old Aylan is shown in the picture to the right wearing red when he was washed on the shore early one morning. His family was traveling by boat from Syria to Greece. His five year old brother Galip and mother Rihan also drowned but his father Abdullah Kurdi was the only survivor of the family. The picture of the two boys was taken shortly before they drowned in the tragic accident trying to reach Greece. This picture is located on twitter.

Hi my name is Meaghan Lowell.  I chose the topic of photography because I think it's a way that many people can easily express themselves.  For example, Instagram allows individuals from all over the world the ability to post photos and share their experiences.  In addition, photography allows the user to communicate certain messages to their viewers.  The photos may capture the war in the middle east or the most recent celebrity drama.  Online media uses pictures to move latest news across the globe in a matter of seconds.  In conclusion photography can be used as a powerful tool to preserve important memories, capture a story without words or  to communicate an important message.  If you think about it, its hard to imagine the world without pictures. It is a very powerful way of communicating
