The winning picture.

February 16, Los Fresnos, Texas.

The World Press Photo awards, an annual competition and the Oscars of the profession the world over, were announced on Friday in Amsterdam.
The awards are given in categories ranging from news to nature, and there is also a World Press Photo of the Year, capping them all. This year it was won by Anthony Suau, a wonderful photographer as well as, if I remember him well from my days as assistant coordinator for another photojournalism contest, a genuinely nice guy.
The picture shows a rather shocking foreclosure scene.
