U.S. Photographer Wins World Press Award

Spencer Platt gets World Press Awards

An image of stylish Lebanese youths driving through a Beirut neighborhood devastated by Israeli bombing, taken by U.S. photographer Spencer Platt, won the World Press Photo of the Year award, the jury announced last Friday.

The image contrasts a group of friends against a background of the wreckage of a collapsed building. In this picture one woman grimaces as she uses her mobile phone to send a text message to a friend, while another, wearing sunglasses, covers her nose with a handkerchief.



The award winning picture, which Platt took , is considered one of the most prestigious for photojournalists.
