Photographer from Mali wins one of the World Press Awards

Congratulations to Malick Sidibé on the World Press photography prize! I really love his work so I’m very happy to see that he’s among the winners.  And it’s great to see photos that aren’t of poverty porn.
(Though the World Pressers awarded a fair share of that too.)
See a great review of his work here, and buy his book here. I ordered mine on Amazon.com a while back and the next time I head to the USA, I’ll pick it up from my parent’s house in California, where it waits for me along with all those notices about my high school reunion.
And every day, I want to go to Mali more and more… and my high school reunion less and less.
