This is from the NYT. They are photos from Kenya after the death of a politician. In my opinion, among the 12 photos, photos that showed closed-up facial expressions of the civilians were much more powerful than the photos of broad scenes of local battles. These images just show us the big picture of how corrupted and disastrous the area is now. But the individual civilians' emotions are clearly shown by the tighter shots. I can almost feel how much helpless they are. I wished there could be more powerful or impacting images of scenes of the area.

These photos of Kenya are profound. They show a certain depth and range of emotion that sometimes print journalism can miss out on. They are just so honest. From terror, to uneasiness, to absolute sorrow, this slide show really captures the layering of a terribly tragic national unrest.
