David Schonauer pays homage to Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros , killed this week in Misurata, Libya while covering the combats between the rebels and Moammar Qadaffi’s armed forces. The first press review picture was taken by Chris Hondros for Time.
The Fukushima nuclear catastrophe revives old memories. Sergei Supinsky went to the phantom city of Pripyat, Ukraine, some graffiti, ashes and a forgotten doll. The pictures provide witness to the horror and remind us of our duty to remember. The Chernobyl nuclear tower exploded 25 years ago, on April 26, 1986. It was the first nuclear accident.
The third portion of the press review is devoted to preparations for the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton that will take place today, April 29. Stefan Wermuth, Dan Kitwood and Peter Macdiarmid gave their visions to Time. It began with horses and ended with uniforms.
The last section offers several pictures including one by Lee Jin-man for the Washington Post. The picture was taken on April 24 in the demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea. We can see the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gallard, exchange glances behind a window with a North Korean soldier.
David Schonauer’s other surprise this week is on President Obama. A picture selected by The Huffington Post of the President’s birth certificate.
