David Schonauer’s press review this week focuses primarily on the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Schonauer opens the review with official White House photographer Pete Souza (New York Times) showing President Obama and his team following live coverage of Osama Bin Laden’s arrest at the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan.
In The Atlantic, Jason Reed‘s pictures of the President announcing Bin Laden’s death. Nine minutes followed by 56 million viewers.
Manuel Balce Ceneta photographed the crowds, Michael Appleton (New York Times) honored the firefighters and Finbarr O’Reilly took the perfect picture, a shadow on the wall at Ground Zero showing a man holding a flag.
The other event of the week was the April 29th royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. Toby Melville (The Atlantic) captured the young bride smiling lovingly at her husband. The most memorable image is undoubtedly the one published in the New York Times of Grace van Cuttsem, 3 years old, stealing attention away from the royal kiss.
The third part of the press review is devoted to the storms that claimed over three hundred lives across Alabama. Dusty Compton for New York Times shot the tornado as it blew through Tuscaloosa.
The last section is called “Elsewhere”, with a picture of the inside of a Boeing 747 and another one from Wong Maye-E (New York Times), of a gathering prior to elections in Singapore.
