The Somber Samurai
We’re used to seeing Japanese Samurais depicted in a very particular way in Hollywood blockbuster films. In this particular shot, which dates back to the early 1870’s in Japan, a real-life Samurai is shown in traditional dress in what might have been a moment shortly after defeat. He looks somewhat somber compared to the images we are used to seeing, which goes to show that you can’t believe everything you see on film.

The Job Nobody Wants
Think your job is bad? As the next photograph shows, there are worse things to be doing. This death row inmate was forced to test the safety of a new roller-coaster that was being unveiled to the public back in 1958. If his expression is anything to go by, we’re not so sure that he sees this as the opportunity to be having a bit of fun. Whoever snapped the shot captured the moment perfectly and brilliantly.
