Literally The Best Photos In The World

This month, World Press Photo announced the winners of their prestigious annual contest…as usual, the images are astounding. Photojournalism’s Best for 2012.

Here’s a few some of my favorites from the bunch on the tabs above. Even though some of these images are heartbreaking, there is inspiration in them, call to action, awareness. They’re depicting real people, real lives–and also the really hard work of the people who chase down the stories.To be a great photojournalist, you have to be immersed. You can’t hide behind the lens…you have to actually GO. Meet people. Shake hands. Ask questions. Which is sometimes unthinkable in war zones and impoverished nations. These folks did it.

All of these photos and captions are via World Press Photo.

    I tend not to comment, but after reading a few of the comments on this page The World Press Photo Contest Winners | Chase Jarvis Blog. I actually do have a few questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it simply me or does it seem like some of these remarks look as if they are coming from brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are posting on additional places, I’d like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you post a list of every one of your social sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
