Brought to Auckland by the Rotary Club of Auckland, the World Press Photo Exhibition now on shows the good, the bad and the ugly sides of humanity. It is an exhibition that will invoke a range of emotions ... it is that good, it is worth visiting.
'Finding Freedom in the Water', by Anna Boyiazis is about girls in the Zanzibar archipelago learning how to swim in full-length swimsuits. The emotion is one of relaxation and escape.
73,044 pictures were taken by 4,548 visual journalists from 125 countries and the 130 pictures on display were selected by independent judges. The photos capture in the never-to-be-repeated moment scenes ranging from the desperation and trauma of conflict to the joy of nature. There is an inspiration for everyone.
