Always compelling; always informative
23 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I try to buy the annual edition of this photojournalism collection every year. Even now, with the proliferation of web-based communication and international news sites at our fingertips, we don't always see some of these compelling, important images. Not only are they amazing photos, but they're accompanied by often-moving stories that explain the history behind the image and what was happening at the time it was captured. The stories aren't often told in our day-to-day news broadcasts, yet they're usually more important than the news we're actually served by the press.
I've been fortunate enough to see some of these thoughtfully compiled photos in person, at exhibits in Amsterdam and Paris. If the traveling expedition doesn't make it to an area near to you, I recommend buying the World Press Photo books.
