Muammar Qaddafi has been killed in fighting in Sirte, according Libya’s National Transitional Council. Anti-government fighters had been closing in on Qaddafi’s final stronghold in Sirte, and reportedly attacked a convoy carrying the former leader today, capturing him. Qaddafi was apparently alive at the time, but died soon afterward. The uprising that began in February and built to an armed revolution has now claimed control of the country, the death of Qaddafi, and the capture of one of his sons today. Collected here are images from Sirte over the past ten days, and of the events surrounding the death of Qaddafi

Walking around the streets at night gives the feeling of travelling back in time, to a place where time has stopped.
The infrastructures here are few and the electricity is scarce – at night it is possible to see the stars on the horizon.
Mountains shield from the scorching desert wind and the muezzin’s chants from all the minarets strike you with strength and melancholy, reminding you that you are in a place where religion still dictates ordinary, everyday life.
Tim Hetherington changed lives and journalism. A friend reflects on that enduring legacy, and how it inspired an exhibition opening this weekend in New York.
Yet one of Tim’s most lasting legacies will be the changes he almost single-handedly wrought in the worlds of photojournalism and multimedia. This weekend, we’re opening an exhibit of his work at the Bronx Documentary Center, a gallery inspired by Tim’s vision and friendship
Over the past month, Sam Gellman’s North Korea set on Flickr has received more than 220,000 hits from people across the globe wanting to get a glimpse of one of the world’s most secluded nations.
When Sam Gellman booked a trip to North Korea, he knew people would be interested in seeing the photos he brought back. But he had no idea the work would go semi-viral.

Krisanne Johnson received the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography on Wednesday for her project “I Love You Real Fast,” which documents coming of age of women in Swaziland.
Krisanne Johnson, 34, has been documenting the coming of age of females in the country — where one in two women are infected with H.I.V./AIDS — since 2006. On Wednesday evening, she received the $30,000 W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography in recognition of her project.

Lytro is the first consumer light field camera, a unique type of camera that captures all the light available, instead of just a single pane of light. It allows photos to be focused after they have been shot, even focusing over and over again
he will always remain the sole reason as to why I became a photographer.
For this reason it was only natural for me to attempt this humble pilgrimage to the final day of his life. I have often looked at the map of Vietnam staring at the small province of Thai Binh and wondered, where? Where did he die?

For those who haven’t been force-fed this bit of dubious dogma, “Expose to the right” is a rule that asserts that to get the best quality in your digital photographs, you should push your exposure as far to the high side (the right side of the histogram) as you can without clipping the highlights.
“It is a very sad day for journalism,” Santiago Lyon wrote to AP colleagues. “He will be deeply missed by all who ever had the pleasure of meeting him. Ed was a first-rate professional
Gone were the doom-and-gloom conversations at this year’s Visa pour l’Image, the world’s largest photojournalism festival, finds Olivier Laurent. Instead photographers are looking to the future and experimenting with new storytelling methods and revenue streams.
Lizzie Sadin started researching her project “Children Behind Bars” in 1999 — though it took her more than a year to be allowed to shoot inside a prison in Russia. By then, she had no plans to seek out prisons in other countries.
I read a small blurb on cnn.com about the rise of infanticide in Pakistan. I was equal parts horrified and fascinated. Kept it in the back of my mind as something to look into while there. Seems the numbers of unwanted kids keep going up as Pakistani youth are seeking out love marriages, and resorting to dating and normal teenage relationships like their western counterparts (abortions and birth control are a no-no, as are having kids out of wedlock). Other contributing factors are believed to be a mass move from rural to urban areas (and not needing a dozen kids to work the land anymore, instead just worrying about having a dozen mouths to feed), and increased poverty (even having one extra mouth to feed is getting tough).
In his new book, the filmmaker investigates the mysteries behind some of photography’s most famous news images. Here, Morris walks TIME through five of his fascinating case studies:
Yaakov Israel’s The Quest for the Man on the White Donkey, complex, multi-faceted project, featuring portraits and landscapes, was my personal pick as a winner of this year’s Conscientious Portfolio Competition. For me, the project captures seemingly disjointed moments in time, offering many hints and as many red herrings. The viewer is invited to come back and re-look at these photographs, to find a slightly different world each time. New details reveal themselves, while old details change their meaning ever so slightly. Instead of pointing at something and saying “This is the way it is” the photographs ask their viewers to discover what is to be found and to ultimately come to their own conclusions.

There was a lot of talk about climate change in general. Yet it was difficult to envision a moving portrayal of something that has yet to happen. “I was trying to figure out how, in everyday life, people were affected,” Amelia Holowaty Krales said.
Elliott Erwitt generally likes to let his pictures do the talking. “I’m very bad about talking about things,” he tells me with a smile, during a recent sit-down to look through his latest book, Sequentially Yours, published this month by teNeues.
The book playfully presents a series of unscripted vignettes that bear the personal hallmark and humor of his classic images and movies, but with an original twist— rather than single shots, the photos are shown as sequences.
The most striking thing about playing with the camera is the furious 14 frames a second super high speed mode. It’s interesting that in a day and age when HD video is now standard on most digital cameras, fast frame rates can still impress and this one does. Sports photographers will love both the 12 and 14fps burst modes but it seems like overkill for studio shooters.
