Welcome Home: The Story of Scott Ostrom

Last year alone, the NY Times recently reported, 6500 US soldiers returning home after war have committed suicide, more than the total number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq combined since those wars began. A great many more are suffering from severe traumata. Scott Ostrom, 27, is one of them. The Denver Post ran a photo series about him that you just have to see. It just won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.

    May 19, Restaurant Day

    What a great idea: Open up a restaurant or a bar for just one day and visit others who do the same. Originating from Helsinki, it’s bound to spread.

      Portraits of Power

      In September 2009, British photographer Platon Antoniou had the unique chance to shoot portraits of nearly all current world leaders at the UN General Assembly. You’ve probably seen some of those iconic images before – Putin, Berlusconi, Obama – but going through the whole series is yet a whole ‘nother experience. I’ve been lucky enough to see the images at an exhibition in Vienna and I’d almost say this alone is worth a travel there. Also recommended: the book with all images.
