By now, those following the media have all seen the news images of the Greek riots, brought on by the shooting of 15-year-old Alexander Grigoropoulos.
As with almost any news event today, the following events were captured on film. An awesome set of photographs that really capture the moment are seen in gallery.
What really interests me is that these images are not being posted on news or political sites, but on art and creativity sites that normally have fashion shoots and editorials.
I think these really strong images do deserve a place there, but have a look and decide for yourself. Shots such as the fire, or speeding bullet, really are up there with some of the best I have seen. In this case, an image really does say 1,000 words. Keep in mind that all of these photos were taken in the heat of the moment, in action, on the move.
These images will most certainly get you thinking.
