I always make the effort to see the World Press Photo when it comes to Brisbane. It has been at the Brisbane Powerhouse since the 2 June 2012 and finished this Sunday. I’m not sure where it heads next – but if it’s in your city it’s worth your time.

The exhibition has been showcasing and profiling the worlds best press photo’s for 55 years. I found this year particularly haunting. It’s an unflinching reminder of unrest, revolution and deprivation on an international scale.

The exhibition at the Powerhouse is now closed but you can find out more about the Word Press Photo organisation and 2012 Collection by visiting World Press Photo.
