Attn photography fans- 2007 World Press Photo Awards

[I-Hate-Hulse]

I eagerly await the winners gallery every year. Some of the most poignant and striking photos I've seen are usually in these collections.

This year, I was particularly taken by the man washing his face in Nigeria after the explosion, and the lone Japanese businessman at night. Simply stunning. Note that there are usually are more photos of the subject once you click on the winning one. [EDIT, the Japanese lonely man I'm talking about is one photo in the 1st Prize winner under Daily Life - link]

After looking at these photos.... I think it's time I get some wider angle glass for better composition. My 20-35mm on a 1.6 crop Canon DSLR just isn't wide enough sometimes....

Good link. I like the one of the Israeli woman pushing against the police. She is strong!!

Anyone see the one of the Leopard seal ripping the penguins head off? Its disgusting... the head is technically still attached by what looks the penguins spinal cord and guts.

I know your shtick is to be a bit of an ass but you have really out done yourself by insulting one of the troops who have come home disfigured due to the war, I think you can be funny sometimes but other times you are just a complete and utter ass, and this is one of those times.

How many people clicked the this thread thinking it said "Attn PORNOGRAPHY Fans"? Not me of course...

because i point out the bride with the frown?

maybe I thought it was odd she would be frowning on her wedding when she is lucky he is even alive!

if i wanted to be a complete and utter ass, I would have said it looks like she was marrying an alien.

" the bride looks happy lol"

Yeah that really indicates a lot of constructive thought on your part indicating something other than mocking the appearences of the returning soldier. If I am wrong and you are merely trying to make a commentary regarding the situation that the bride is placed in and the sadness associated with one of the most important days of her life because her husband is permanently disfigured I really don't see the need to make a low joke about it, which in turn does make a joke about the appearences of the soldier in question.

Boy, if you were to go by most of those photos, you'd think it was one hell of a crappy world we live in.

Perhaps the press needs to focus on the positive aspects of life a little more?

This has got to be the most frightening picture I have ever seen. You have been warned!

Amazing photo.

The first thing that popped into my mind was Ghost rider though.

That's effed up.

The guy who took the photo and didn't do anything killed himself after winning the Pulitzer.

Didn't realize this thread was 4 years old. Guess I should learn to read the titles a tad bit closer.

Just a heads up, there's definitely some graphic photos, including a man commiting suicide and a dead child.

Moving photo. Horrible, but moving.
