Unveiling the pictures of the year

Lens is the photography blog of The New York Times, presenting the finest and most interesting visual and multimedia reporting — photographs, videos and slide shows. A showcase for Times photographers, it also seeks to highlight the best work of other newspapers, magazines and news and picture agencies; in print, in books, in galleries, in museums and on the Web.

Here we can see the winners of the Pictures of the Year International competition held by the Missouri School of Journalism, which was published late last month.
