crying child looking out over the mining pits at Panique in Philippines, and in the distance an apparently pristine lake that is in fact contaminated by cyanide and mercury runoff from the artisanal mining operations. The only sign that all not as it seems is the boy's anguished face. His downward gaze draws you into the people crawling around the mine below

a kind of grace and resilience, amidst what is literally a pile of trash. We see so many images of "poor" Africans and I felt like Micah's series was framed through a different lens that represents beauty and light, without ignoring the hardship. It also reminds me of the responses we received from students in LA where we presented the work. I asked them to share what words came to mind when they looked at it and they said: hope, strength, empathy, calm, challenge, power. And then I asked them how they would convince an editor in the US to run a story about a dumpsite in Kenya

The angle is striking--looking up through the greenery against the bright sky

 church in Romania. The light bulb shining on the bearded priest's bald head gives the overall effect of a painting by Rembrandt

man has been through and is experiencing while seeing his home for the first time since it was destroyed during the fighting. It almost looks like he has to hold up the cracked and broken wall with his bare hand

Between the Lines: Facial Tattoos and the Chaouia," her project on the tradition of facial tattoos among elderly women in Algeria--their origin, their meanings, and the reasons for their gradual disappearance. I'm very drawn to this woman's face--she appears to be a warm and wise person

 love the rosy sky and the beach in this image. The sticks in the sand and the mountains in the background give it a somewhat melancholy other-worldliness, but the playing children make it feel lighthearted as well

This photo captures this sense of waiting, a feeling that the world shares while we see what happens in newly-opened Burma. But questions remain: Will it close its doors again, like it has done before? Will the government address human rights violations and ethnic violence? Knight illustrates this by creating a gauzy black and white still, showcasing the guards' folded arms and questioning gazes

lines of people wait outside a labor center that has been turned into a homeless shelter in Kamagasaki, a neighborhood of Osaka. Though this picture was taken in a city over 6,000 miles away, the same scene plays out in cities across the United States, where despite incredible wealth, entire communities are relegated to the margins to occupy homeless shelters, street corners, detention centers and prisons

the Tibetan Plateau sought in part to document the wonder of the natural world before it is too late--or perhaps in time to save it

[Youssou N'dour] was prevented from running for president--so he's candidate turned protestor. But he looks presidential in contrast to the chaos around him

from Afghanistan shows a deep connection with the people and the country that many photojournalists strive for but few attain. This particular story, 'Afghanistan: On Love and Suicide,' struck a chord because although the story is innately sad, it is also hopeful. It is a beautiful thing to see women supporting one another and finding an outlet in the art of poetry. This particular photo feels symbolic of the story as a whole--women passing through the shadows, secretive but standing together

Bernat Armangue. Gaza City. Nov. 18, 2012

Ahmed's tears, which mourn his dead father who was killed by Syrian army snipers, fell on a park transformed into a cemetery in the city of Idlib, which had been under siege by government forces since March. The child's cry mingled with the cries of the Free Syrian Army fighters, the elderly, his schoolmates and a community devastated by almost two years of this conflict, which started in the framework of the Arab Spring and transformed into a cruel civil war. This is quite a direct picture—one that tries to approach this armed conflict in a very human and simple level, amid a conflict fraught with very profound geopolitical interests in today's world

group of fighters with Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, a great Iraqi journalist. The men took up position in a family living room. One rebel sat on the chair eating a chocolate bar, the commander looking out the window to scout the area while a rebel fired from the window. They told me the room was a former Syrian army position and that they had killed three soldiers in the house when they took over the building earlier that day

It was like any other spring day in North Texas — hot, humid and the weather was ripe for a classic Midwest storm. Within hours, 13 confirmed tornadoes touched down across the Dallas-Fort Worth area 

Lancaster, Texas. April 3, 2012

a small border war between Sudan and South Sudan that most of the world didn't even realize was happening. Bodies, dozens and dozens, lined the gravel highway

was still trying to make sense of why a gunman would walk into a crowded Aurora movie theater and fire randomly. Twelve people were killed and 58 wounded. It was hard for me to imagine a crime of this magnitude in a movie theater — a place that I myself go to escape life for a moment. One of the lives lost that night was of Jonathan Blunk, a five-year U.S. Navy veteran, who left behind a wife and two children. In this photograph, Chantel Blunk, Jonathan's wife, paused on the tarmac at Denver International Airport before boarding the same plane as her husband's body. The plane was bound for their home in Reno, Nev., where a full military funeral would take place. As this was occurring, a faint rainbow appeared over the hearse. 

In a moment of sorrow, a glimpse of Chantel's innocence and youth appeared despite the overwhelming process of military tradition and personal chaos she was trapped in

Sometimes it's hard to remember who that person is at the podium—that [politicians] are real people. We had been to a couple campaign events that day. Here, President Obama was waiting to be introduced before going on stage at a campaign stop in Windham, N.H. As President, you spend a lot of time waiting for people to introduce you, so that's always the best time for photographers to be around him. He was talking to staff and Secret Service and seemed really at ease. I don't remember what he was laughing about

Rainbow attendees incorporate Buddhist, Hindu, neo-pagan and shaman rites into their worship. Some Maya elders plan to attend a ceremony held at the camp on December 21st

The Lacandons used to hunt in the forest using bows and arrows. Nowadays, there aren't many wild animals left. Some, like the jaguar, are endangered species

Lacandon families used to live in dispersed dwellings, deep in the jungle. They are now concentrated in a handful of villages like Lacanja Chansayab. There are fewer than 1,000 Lacandon left.

2012.. عام أعلنت فيه الاوليمبياد "إسلامها" رغم أنف علياء المهدي

لم يكن عام 2012 عاديا بالنسبة للرياضيات المسلمات المحجبات بعد قرار يعتبر الافضل في تاريخ اللجنة الاوليمبية الدولية علي الاطلاق.

ورغم الفشل العربي علي المستوي النسائي في الأوليمبياد، و التي لم تفلح فيها اي لاعبيه عربية في الحصول علي ميدلية ، بإستثناء البحرينية مريم جمال التي نالت برونزية 1500 متر عدو، إلا أن النجاح الذي تحقق كان أكبر من حصد الميداليات .

كانت اللجنة الاوليمبية الدولية برئاسة جاك روج قد اتخذت قرارا بالسماح للرياضيات المسلمات بالمشاركة في اوليمبياد لندن 2012 مرتديات حجابهن الاسلامي، وهو ما سمح لعدد كبير منهن للمشاركة في الحدث الاهم علي المستوي الرياضي.

وشاركت لاعبة الجودو السعودية وجدان شهرخاني في أوليمبياد لندن علي خلفية هذا القرار وكان الحدث تاريخيا علي كل الاصعدة.

الغريب، هو تظاهر 4 سيدات اوكرانيات يتبعن منظمة "Femen" التي انضمت لها المصرية علياء المهدي مؤخرا، قبل انطلاق الدورة الاوليمبية بالقرب من مبني البلدية بلندن اعتراضا علي القرار الذي اسمته "أسلمة الاوليمبياد

2012: The Year in Photos

2012 was an eventful year, from big events like the London Summer Olympics and the U.S. presidential race, to regional conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, to smaller issues closer to home. Reverberations from last year's transformative Arab Spring still heavily affect Syria and Egypt; and the slow recovery from the recent global economic crisis brought bitter austerity measures to parts of Europe, leading to widespread protests. Collected here is Part 1 of a three-part photo summary of the last year, covering its first four months

The Costa Concordia, seen on January 14, 2012, after the cruise ship ran aground and keeled over off the Isola del Giglio. 32 passengers and crew members were killed after the Italian ship with some 4,200 people on board ran aground. The Costa Concordia was on a trip around the Mediterranean when it apparently hit a reef near the island of Giglio on Friday, only a few hours into its voyage, as passengers were sitting down for dinner. Captain Francesco Schettino, who reportedly abandoned the ship shortly after it sank, lost his job and still potentially faces manslaughter charges

2012 was an eventful year, from big events like the London Summer Olympics and the U.S. presidential race, to regional conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, to smaller issues closer to home. Reverberations from last year's transformative Arab Spring still heavily affect Syria and Egypt; and the slow recovery from the recent global economic crisis brought bitter austerity measures to parts of Europe, leading to widespread protests.

Star trails, city lights, and lightning strikes appear in this composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer (and photographer) Don Pettit: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then 'stack' them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. (NASA/Don Pettit) #

“After working during the day to document the impact of superstorm Sandy on folks from Manhattan, we decided to go early in the morning to try and catch a good skyline photo of Manhattan as soon as the storm left the area, weather conditions permitting.

At 6am I decided to go out. I went with my colleague Kena to the Hudson River waterfront walkway where you can see the huge Financial Center in Manhattan. That morning, you could feel the passing of something really huge in the Big Apple, something that the media had dubbed "FRANKENSTORM".”
