Photojournalism Daily: Nov. 7, 2014

2 minute read

Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Tim Hussin‘s work from the indigenous community of Potosí, Bolivia. The pictures taken in and around Cerro Rico, a mountain that once held vast supplies of minerals, including silver, are a few years old but have been presented anew as a full multimedia experience that includes his notes and striking video portraits. From life underground to a wedding to a young miner’s funeral, Hussin captures the reality of life and death by “the mountain that eats men.”

Life After War: James Nachtwey’s Photographs From Walter Reed“I felt like my legs had been taken without my permission,” says Cedric King, 37, of waking up at Walter Reed in August 2012 after stepping on an IED in Afghanistan. The Army master sergeant quickly sank into depression—until his daughters Amari, 11, and Khamya, 7, made him try swimming. It felt like drowning at first, he says, but “I needed to know that I could get back to everything I did before.” James Nachtwey for TIME
