Artist Fred Barnard was right on the money when he said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Some of the most attention-grabbing photos are the ones that lack context, just like the ones you’re about to see.
These posts are from a Facebook page simply labeled Oh. All one million followers share a liking for ambiguously humorous images. Describing them in writing is quite challenging, so you’ll have to see for yourself.
Without further ado, here are some of the best pics that may provide today’s free chuckles.

If these images convey an underlying message, photos have immense power. Their ability to evoke emotion without words should not be underestimated.
But what makes a successful photograph? Authenticity is one element, according to celebrity photographer Mark DeLong. It should make the viewer feel like they are in the same space as the still image.

Most of these images are random occurrences from daily life, snapped from a person’s smartphone. They exude a sense of originality, which DeLong says is another trait of a successful photo.
“One of the most effective ways to create a meaningful photographic image is to take a picture of a subject in a way that no one has ever seen before,” he wrote in an article for his website.

As proof of Barnard’s statement mentioned in the intro, the Washington Post’s director of photography, MaryAnne Golon, once presented a photo story in China without saying a word. As she told Time Magazine, the audience took it all in and “fell quiet in all the right places.”
“After the last frame, we all just beamed at each other. It was so thrilling,” Golon recalled.

At the end of the day, a photograph is an immortalized moment—a captured minute that preserves a memory forever. National Geographic’s director of photography, Sarah Leen, said it perfectly: “It can defeat time.”
“Images can keep the memory of a loved one alive, hold a moment in history for future generations, be a witness to tragedy or joy.”
