World Press Photo 14

Last Saturday I visited the World Press Photo exhibition at the 15th century Nieuwe Kerk ('New Church'), at the Dam square in Amsterdam. The exhibition features over 150 remarkable photographs in 9 categories.
Somehow the setting of a church adds so much to this photo exhibition, like the Der-Aa Church in Groningen that hosted the WPP last November. (click HERE to see a few images from my visit there).
If you happen to be in Amsterdam, it's recommendable.

World Press Photo exhibition Groningen

Groningen is one of 90 cities worldwide that hosts this year's World Press Photo exhibition. And it's location, the 'Der-Aa Kerk' - a church from the Middle Ages, really adds something special to the event.

From their website: "World Press Photo stresses the importance of photo journalism and tries to help cultivate the freedom of the press globally. The World Press Photo exhibitions are extensive and high-quality events, which invite visitors to consider some intriguing images from daily life, nature, sports, art and culture."

This was my favorite animal photo, made by Paul Nicklen, a Canadian biologist and photographer.

The exhibition here in Groningen can be visited until December 15th. For more information go -HERE-
