4) This powerful image, captured by John Stanmeyer, won the World Press Photo of the Year award. This picture was taken on the shore of Djibouti city, 13 miles from the Somalia border. Although it looks like these Africans are taking selfies, they are actually trying to search for inexpensive cell signal to call their relatives abroad. Contest jury member Jillian Edelstein said “[i]t’s a photo that is connected to so many other stories — it opens up discussions about technology, globalization, migration, poverty, desperation, alienation, humanity.”
