“When terror strikes, chaos reigns, people are maimed and killed. And eerie images linger in the minds and memories, making picture editing a challenging task. For many, El Pais photographer Pablo Torres Guerrero recently captured an eerie image that lingers. The picture documents the shocked and injured victims being aided by rescue workers and bystanders along the tracks outside of the Atocha station after 13 backpack-loaded bombs were detonated, killing 190 people and injuring about 1,800 on March 11 in Madrid.”

spiekerblog

“An explanation is needed: If there is only one language in this introduction ñ the abstract, as iBlog calls it ñ then the entry is also only in that language. So far, German and English entries appear in nor particular order. Most exist in one language only, and I do not have time to translate anything. That is why this is a weblog, not a proper website. The poor readers have to do all the navigating and searching without the help of a great interface. This is not about me showing whether I am a good designer. Itís just about getting content published quickly and with as little effort as possible.”
