World Press Photo
The World Press Photo exhibit is in town. If you're in Cairo, go and see it. It runs until August 29 at the Sawy Culture Wheel.
Never in my life have I felt so insignificant just looking at pictures. There are a lot more stories in this world that are barely being told. Sometimes I think we all get caught up in our immediate reality, and forget about just how fascinating, horrific, and amazing the world really is.
The exhibit was a sharp reminder of why I'm in Cairo, working where I work. There are stories I want to be a part in telling, the present is just step one.
If you're not in Cairo go look at the gallery. Even on a computer screen, it's powerful.

I really enjoyed - and was frequently disturbed - looking at the photos. Thanks for bringing the exhibition to my attention.
