Portraits from the Kiev protests.

My theory is that this guy is getting ready to propose to this girl. I have nothing to back it up except for how awesome it would be.

Best photo from the Ukraine I’ve seen is this one. At first you think it might be yet another 1000 meter stare, but he’s aware of the photographer. He’s tired. He’s not happy. But he’s doing what he has to and hasn’t hit burnout yet. This is the kind of person every human should aspire to being.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects”. -R. A. Heinlein
