World Press Photo Exhibition

On Friday after work I stopped into the Royal Festival hall to check out the World Press Photo Exhibition. The subject matter is real and haunting. The beautifully buzzing atmosphere created by the jazz festival musicians at Royal Festival Hall stood in stark contrast to so many of the photos. 

Many of the photos are of extremely serious subjects and having a walk around the festival hall made me realise just how much has happened in the world in 2011. 

If you have a chance, I'd definitely recommend popping in. It's free and powerful.
