iWitness

If you are visiting London this Summer, you can see a unique open air exhibition of work by Tom Stoddart close to Tower Bridge, opposite the Tower of London and next to the new City Hall, where a square of large columns supports his pictures in the show iWitness, commemorating 40 years of work by the Disasters Emergency Committee.

The pictures are arranged in groups: famine, siege, exodus, cleansing, floods, earthquake, loss, conflict and scourge, and include work from Sarajevo, Africa, New York after 9/11, Kosovo and elsewhere. These are powerful and emotional images, especially those of ordinary people caught in the crossfire in Sarajevo and the African aids victims. This is great photojournalism.
