Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Tomas van Houtryve’s beautiful yet ominous aerial photographs. In response to a lax visual record of American drone strikes — from Somalia to Yemen to Pakistan — the Belgian photographer got creative, piloting a small drone over events or locations in the U.S. that mimicked ones targeted by the military. The result is a clever way of bringing home a side of a far-away war that is rarely shown.
