Ami Vitale/National Geographic. India. 2006.
The image was taken along the river Ganges, considered as one of the holiest places for Hindus and Buddhists in the city of Varanasi, India.

In this image a lone woman holds up a victory sign and stands in solidarity with Justice Chaudhry, Chief Justice of the Pakistani Supreme Court, who was suspended from office by President Musharraf on March 9, 2007. President Musharraf’s actions sparked widespread protests in Pakistan. Justice Chaudhry was reinstated on July 20, 2007.

Christian Als/Panos. Kenya. 2008.
Africa’s largest slum, Kibera, is home to one million people living in less than a square mile on the outskirts of Nairobi, almost entirely in one-room stick-and-mud shacks. Kibera is a microcosm of many of the world’s most vexing issues – poverty, poor healthcare, severe water shortage, the spread of HIV infection, and lack of women’s rights.
This image is a snapshot taken on the railway tracks that run through Kibera. A mother and child passed and I just shot the picture on pure instinct. I never talked to them or thought that I had taken an important image. It is one of those rare moments in photography that turns into magic.
