World Press Photo Winners for 2006

February 19th, 2007 · 4 Comments

have been announced (yes, I’m a  week late). As ever, stunning, inspirational and heart-wrenching in equal measure.

Spencer Platt’s winning photo of 4 girls being driven through the devastation of South Beirut in a red open-topped sports car is beautiful, deep, and surreal. I also love this one which is possibly even more incongruous.

Shame they won’t let you use the images though…

    The Zidane walking past the World Cup in the sport’s section is brilliant too.

    Some great pics.

    On another note http://themes.wordpress.net has some very nice themes if you’re looking to spruce up.

    Yes, I’m hoping to have a chance to tidy it up soon…
