So many amazing photos and photographers out there: check out these oddly beautiful photos of overhead wires in Japan (just trust me), and these powerful photos of Chernobyl, 25 years later.


Prison Whistleblower Condemned to Solitary Confinement: "The ongoing story of Massachusetts inmate Timothy Muise demonstrates in detail how freedom of expression ends at the prison gate. When Muise has sought to expose what he alleges is a sex-for-snitching ring run by guards at MCI Norfolk, a state prison south of Boston, he was charged with “inciting a group demonstration,” along with various other rule violations, and summarily placed in solitary confinement awaiting a disciplinary hearing. After a “hearing” that reveals the real nature of due process for prisoners, Muise was sentenced to further weeks in solitary."

I love these beautiful portraits, and the way they are photographed.
