World Press Photo opens
I’m noticing the opening of the World Press Photo show this week at Marché Bonsecours mostly because I saw somewhere a link to Daily Hive’s brief mention.
Daily Hive used to be a reasonable if a little overexcitable source of cultural news, but when it tells you feverishly that last year’s show contained “73,000 images from 4,500 photographers in 125 different countries” you realize it’s morphed into MTLBlog. Too bad: we didn’t need another one. (TVA explains more reasonably that the show’s judges evaluated that many pictures, to narrow it down to the 42 pictures that will be on display.)
Le Devoir finds this year’s exhibition particularly moving; the Gazette comments on some of the winners. The photo show’s on till the end of September.

To be precise, there were 42 prizes awarded, but there are three or four times as many images on display, as they also show the runners up.
