Congratulations to Tomas van Houtryve Photography whose photo was selected as one of TIME Magazines Top 10 Photos of 2014! TIMEs Director of Photography, Kira Pollack writes: Each photograph selected for TIME’s Top 10 photos of 2014, carefully culled from thousands, takes us into a dramatic scene that provides an important visual record of history. As these images came through our news-gathering operation over the course of the year, they not only astounded us, but also moved us... Tomas van Houtryve has labored on a project about the unseen impact of American drone strikes in faraway lands. He used shadows of people at locations in the U.S., similar to those targeted overseas, to bring war home. Recently, van Houtryve turned that focus inward. Directing a small quadcopter, he made scenes ranging from kids playing soccer at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the site of a mass shooting in 2012, to the calm rows of houseboats in California’s Central Valley (#5), where the shoreline shows the effects of a months-long drought. It’s from this perspective, the drone’s-eye view, that we see something we tend to ignore: how the rest of the world looks at us. Click here to view: ti.me/1yw9Tnb
