World Press Photo Exhibit

I went to a photo exhibit I had read about at the Royal Festival Hall. It's a traveling exhibit which is a compilation of some of the past years greatest photo-journalistic shots. The pictures varied from the Beijing Olympics, poverty-stricken countries, politicians, etc. Anyway, the photo's were breath-taking and thought-provoking. I thought the exhibit did a great job of encapsulating the past year's tragedies and triumphs. I posted a link to the online gallery below. Just click on the thumbnails to see the pictures larger. One of my favorites was one of Barack and Michelle Obama after a tired day of campaigning.
