This year, we decided that Visa would not to exhibit World Press Photo. We are a photojournalism festival and we take pride in exhibiting images that have been produced honestly. This is not to say I don’t respect Lars or World Press Photo. In fact, this is why I am having this talk with him, so that we can discuss the future of photojournalism and the honesty that these images should depict.
