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.”

Now, we’d like to hear from you. Which of these photos is the funniest for you? Are there any that stood out for reasons other than humor? Let us know in the comments!

Looks like AI, particularly towards the background - and the other oddly tall bikes. And the man in the red shirt, in front of the one with an A on his back. (Similarly: the man with "writing" on his back.)

That was my first thought too, but I think it's actually the bike known as "Stoopid Tall." There's a video of it, including how he's gets up there and the view from it. Apparently tall bikes are a thing now?

This gives a whole new fear of falling off the bike and getting back on.

Pretty sure that's "Stoopid Tall." If you're thinking it's AI, it's an involved one because there are pictures from other angles, and video. Including how he gets on and off, and the view from it, and the near disaster when he came to a slightly too short overpass. Seems like there's a whole community of "tall bikes." https://makezine.com/article/home/fun-games/the-tallest-bike-in-los-angeles/

I'm soap-rised, he kept lathering it on thick despite the slippery situation - perhaps he needed a clean break?

Are we supposed to think that's her reflection and she photoshopped herself? Because it looks to me the reflection is for the person behind her. If that's the case, what's wrong here?
