Pour ce dernier édito avant les vacances, nous avons choisi des photos récemment publiées dans la presse, sur les blogs....

Des émeutes au Royaume-Uni à la panique boursière, de la mort d'Amy Winehouse à celle de Tim Hetherington, aucun thème général, juste une sélection d'images jugées saisissantes, impressionnantes, drôles...  Qui nous prouvent la grande vitalité de l'illustration visuelle de l'actualité.

Pour chaque image, un lien accompagne la légende et détaille la situation photographiée.

En attendant vos réactions !
