Photojournalism Daily: Nov. 27, 2014

Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Philip Montgomery‘s work from Ferguson, Mo., following the announcement that a grand jury declined to indict white police officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Many demonstrations across the country were peaceful, but as Montgomery’s extraordinary black-and-white pictures show, the fallout also led to arson, looting and skirmishes with law enforcement officers. The work, gritty and close-up, rightfully stands out from the rest.
