For those of you interested in photojournalism, the World Press Photo association presents an exhibition of this year's most influential and eye capturing photojournalistic images from press photographers from around the world. "World Press Photo" visits 80 cities around the globe and makes its stop in Montreal Sep 4 – Oct 4 at the Just For Laughs museum. Featured highlights include the prize winning photo from American press photographer Anthony Suau.
The exhibition features other showcases such as "La Foire de L'Image" with a selection of over 400 images by
Canadian photographers.

*I have just visited the exhibition. It really is worth the visit, especially at $5 for students. I, having been trained in photojournalism, really took in the depth of what the photo journalist tried to convey to us. It runs through an array of emotions and really captures the human condition, sometimes at risk of the press photographer themselves. Most note worthy was the emphasis on the 2008-2009 Georgia–Russia crisis, an event that many have or didn't realize went on.
The exhibition runs from 11am to 10pm every day.
