World Press Photo Awards

Nina Berman, Wounded US Marine returns home from Iraq to marry

The 2007 World Press Photo Awards were announced last Friday. Nina Berman's picture of returned Iraq War veteran Ty Ziegel and his wife Renée Kline won first prize in the Portraits category. A warning: you'll probably want to spend a lot of time at the link. Among the many things you won't want to miss is Denis Darzacq's series of Parisian street dancers, which won first prize in the Arts and Entertainment stories category.
