deadra and me went to the World Press Photo exhibition again. [This year, we made the good choice to do so on a weekday and not in the evening.] There were some brilliant pieces again this year, but it seemed to me to be a weaker year. [Could be my imagination, though.] There were also surprisingly many black and white photos.

There were a few exhibits centered around gender, which were really interesting, but there were also a few I didn’t get at all like [the whole Hungry Horse pictures].

As usual, you can find my favorites after the jump. You can find all the winners here.
