St. Peter's Square: 2005 vs. 2013 - John Dyer
NBC posted a powerful image of St. Peter’s Square showing how different things looked in 2005 when Pope Benedict was chosen from the new world of 2013 with Pope Francis: My guess is that in 10-20 years when the next Pope is chosen, Google Glass and other similar products will make the screens disappear.

豪州で広がる「カレーバッシング」 対印関係に暗雲 - MSN産経ニュース
【シンガポール＝宮野弘之】オーストラリアでインド人学生を狙った襲撃事件が相次いでいる。犯人はほとんどが１０代の少年で、「おやじ狩り」ならぬ「カレーバッシング（たたき）」と称している。メルボルンではインド人学生ら数千人が抗議の座り込みをし、インド政府は早期解決を要求、両国の外交問題にまで発展しつつある。 襲撃事件は、メルボルンだけで過去１年で７０件に上る。先週には続けて５人が襲われ１人は意識不明だ。ある学生は、若い男数人に囲まれカネを奪われ、「インドに帰れ」とののしられたうえ、ドライバーで腹などを刺されたという。 シドニーで学生の面倒を見るインド人医師が地元紙に語ったところでは、同様の事件はシドニーでも４月だけで約２０件。しかし、学生は面倒に巻き込まれ、永住権をとれなくなるのを恐れ、ほとんど警察に届け出ない。犯人は若く、昨年末にインド人男性を殺害し逮捕された少年２人は１８歳、先週シドニーで大
At work
When the economy makes big news, many photographs of people at work come across the wires, usually to help illustrate a particular story or event. By collecting these disparate photos over the past few months, I found that a global portrait emerged of we humans producing things. People assembling, generating, and building items small and large, mundane and expensive, trivial and important. I hope
Chinese New Year - Welcoming the Ox
Today is the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, met with celebrations and observations by ethnic Chinese and others around the world. This year, we welcome the Year of the Ox, the sign representing solemn hard work and prosperity - an animal that appears aptly symbolic for these difficult times. Millions of people traveled long distances to be with family during this Spring Festival, choking
More of London from above, at night
In August of last year, I was happy to be able to share some amazing photos of London, as seen from above at night by photographer Jason Hawkes. That entry continues to be one of the most consistently popular ones I've ever put together, so I was happy to hear from Jason again recently, and to find that he wanted to share another 24 photos from 2008 below. Jason shot these images with a camera att
Sailing, around the world
Last December the maxi yacht "Wild Oats XI" won the 2008 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, sailing 630 nautical miles (1,170 km) in one day, 20 hours and 34 minutes. The Volvo Ocean Race, a 10-leg round-the-world race started in October and will continue until June. The Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009 will start in April, and training sessions are now underway. Sailing as a modern and historic undertak
2008 in photographs (part 2 of 3)
2008 has been an eventful year to say the least - it is difficult to sum up the thousands of stories in just a handful of photographs. That said, I will try to do what I've done with other photo narratives here, and tell a story of 2008 in photographs. It's not the story of 2008, it's certainly not all stories, but as a collection it does show a good portion of what life has been like over the pas

The Hajj and Eid al-Adha
Yesterday marked the end of the Muslim festival Eid al-Adha, or "Feast of Sacrifice" - which also marks the end of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. One of the pillars of Islamic faith, the Hajj must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by any Muslim who has the ability to do so. This year, nearly 3 million Muslims made the Hajj, without major incident, and are now
Green Sahara
Photographer Mike Hettwer has been kind enough to share with us some of his photographs depicting what remains of the Green Sahara. About 9,000 years ago, a very wet climate prevailed in parts of the Sahara Desert called the Neolithic Subpluvial period. Lasting several thousand years, this Green Sahara was home to many grassland and woodland animals as well as humans. While on an expedition for di
Scenes from Antarctica
Down in Antarctica, November marks the end of spring, the beginning of austral summer, and the beginning of Antarctica's cruise season. The Sun just rose for the first time in 6 months on September 22nd, and is now visible in the sky all the time. Recent studies in Antarctica have brought new insights into the origins of deep sea octopus species (a 30 million-year-old ancestor from Antarctic water
Peru Rocks
The Colorado-based Love Hope Strength foundation hosted an event recently called "Peru Rocks", where 63 travelers - including musicians from The Fixx, Fastball, The Alarm and more - along with cancer survivors, and their supporters from around the world joined together to raise funds and awareness of cancer-related issues in Peru. The trip took the trekkers from Cuzco, Peru to the heights of Machu
California wildfires (yet again)
Several wildfires raged throughout Southern California this weekend, in the hills surrounding Los Angeles, burning some 35,000 acres (55 sq mi) and destroying around 1,000 homes as California's Fire Season extends toward becoming a year-round condition. Dry Santa Ana winds of up to 70 mph drove flames and embers across valleys and into neighborhoods, in some cases burning only a few homes, in othe
Earth From Above comes to NYC
Photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand will bring his work back to the United States - to New York City for the first time in 2010. Aiming to inspire people to think globally about sustainable living, Arthus-Bertrand has been photographing unique views of our planet, seen from the sky, since 1994 - and has produced an exhibit of over 150 4-ft. by 6-ft. prints which will be on display in New York City a
