World Press Photo of the Year 2009

I found the winning photo for the World Press Photo of the Year disappointing, but the one above, which came first under the General News category was my favorite of the bunch. Check out all the winners [Here]

    As always suffering Gaza gives a rich inspiration for photographers, SAD :(

    There are a number of interesting pics on the Palestinian conflict. What to think of the 2nd prize in Spot news?

    painfully expressive

    It’s amazing, really.
    @Rob: awesome, in the most literal sense of the word, no? and frightening, almost as if some ghost is rising above–if you read about what a phosphorus fire does, it’s not wonder this type of chemical weapon is illegal.
    Also, Gen. news #3, I believe– with the man throwing wine. To’ve captured that moment is just… wow.

    Now that is a 1000 words at least. I agree. This one is better.
