Brent Stirton, Photographer

Brent Stirton, the great love of my twenties, recently won 1st prize Contemporary Issues Singles at the 2007 World Press Photo Awards for his photos of the evacuation of dead Mountain Gorillas discovered in Virunga National Park in Eastern Congo. The story broke in August last year in Newsweek. Take a look at the winning photograph and more of Stirton's phenomenal work at http://www.brentstirton.com/feature-gorillas.php
