Photojournalism Links Daily Digest: Sept. 12, 2014

2 minute read

Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Kieran Kesner’s important pictures on the Ebola epidemic in Liberia, the worst-hit nation battling the virus in West Africa. With his series, Kesner joins a relatively small group of photojournalists who have covered this devastating story that deserves wider coverage. The first of Kesner’s photographs is particularly striking — and undeniably surreal, showing a Monrovia taxi driver wearing protective gear.
