There’s only one thing better than a really amazing photograph…it’s hearing the story behind that photograph. The World Press Photo 2008 winners are posted, and along with the photos are interviews with the photographers on the background and the context of the award-winning image.

It definitely enhances the overall experience and it might serve to draw in a broader audience than photographers and photo editors. The interviews are well done, I especially liked hearing Platon talk about getting a rare opportunity to photograph Putin. I think it’s a super smart feature for the World Press to have added.
