As the tumultuous year draws to a close, The Associated Press is looking back on 12 months of upheaval in Europe and Africa by presenting the most memorable images by AP photographers.

Photography’s rich history and creative doers continually make it clear: The best place to see great images (aside from a museum or gallery wall) is a bound book. In the holiday spirit, we’ve drawn this list from recent releases as well as our roundups in spring, summer and fall. —Jack Crager
We continue and present the projects selected by Les Nuits Photographiques 2015 awards, which took place on September 19th. Today is about Rwandan genocide with “Intended Consequences“, directed by Jonathan Togorvnik, israelian photographer and produced by MediaStorm.
It’s not hard to find a great photo in Eulitt’s year-end portfolio. The hard part is whittling down everything he shot in 2015 to his five favorites. That’s what the photo editors at The Star asked him to do
“Jim Murray used to write the definitive column on racial issues [three days after the initial news broke],” Dwyre said. “He had you going, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?” It happened because he took the time to think about what he was going to write.”
Later, Dwyre added, “Now there’s very little thinking and a lot of reaction. That bothers me. You lose depth. You lose real balance.”
As the climate talks in Paris draw to a close, we revisit Carl De Keyzer’s epic work Moments Before the Flood, in which he circumnavigates the European coastline, traveling more than 82,000 miles and visiting more than 5,000 locations, to “photograph this beautiful and very unique coastline, riddled with history, before it’s too late …”

Louis Stettner came of age in a world that moved more slowly and gracefully: Witness his classic 1958 photographs of the original Pennsylvania Station in New York. Yet by 1963, the landmark, famed for its glorious architecture, had been demolished to make room for the less-than-grand Madison Square Garden. Hordes of New Yorkers were heartbroken, but the furor helped fuel a movement for historical preservation in the United States.
Walking, greeting passers-by, camera slung across my shoulder, saying hello, moving past and carrying on, saying hi, sitting down, talking, explaining things, sharing a cigarette or two, taking a picture. That’s what I did for a week.

You have got to listen to Ben Smith‘s new podcast, A Small Voice. There have been thirteen episodes so far. I’ve only listened to one–the first, with long-time favorite Ian Teh–but that was enough to know it will be essential listening
I will say this; I do think there’s a teeny bit of a shortage of good ideas to be honest with you. Robert Gilka, then the Chief of Photography for National Geographic once said, “We’re up to our armpits in great photographers, but up to our ankles in good ideas.”

“There’s a keen difference between working with National Geographic and being an independent photographer”, says Nathan Benn, renowned photographer, former director of Magnum Photos. After nearly 20 years as a National Geographic photographer, reporting on many regions around the world including Netherlands, Dead Sea, South Korea, the Mississippi River and Jewish Diaspora, among others, Benn is now exhibiting his work of Kodachrome Memory American Pictures at the Leica Gallery in Los Angeles. We had the opportunity to talk to him about this exhibition and experience.
Gaia Squarci has chosen to explore a subject that corresponds to the essence of photography: light and the shapes that it makes, ubiquitous to the point that it makes our interactions with the world a primarily visual experience. By documenting the lives of the visually impaired, most as a result of an accident, Gaia Squarci communicates emotions, giving them a materiality.
