Following eviction, Detective Robert Kole of Cuyahoga County Sheriff enters a home in Cleveland, Ohio, following mortgage foreclosure and eviction. Anthony Suau (USA), World Press Photo of the Year 2008.
A detective look very anxious, he enter a messy house at gunpoint as a precaution. The house’s owner is no longer capable pay the debt, they should leave, Bank would take over everything and let the owner pack their belonging and go to wherever destination they think they could live happily ever after, tragic. Since they left, many houses have been vandalized or occupied by squatters or drug addicts, and this detective needed to check the house.
Photographer Anthony Suau takes his camera, snaps Detective Robert Kole of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff, send it to TIME magazine, and win World Press Photo of the Year 2008. Suau picture and 63 other winner’s pictures (in category: Spot News, General News, People in the News, Stories, Sports Action, Sports Features) are exhibited in Pacific Place Jakarta from early December to first week of January 2010.
I don’t really agree why the committee chooses Suau’s work as the grand winner, for me Luiz Vasconcelos’ work looks more interesting and dramatic, Luiz shoot Manaus people (mother and daughter) in Brazil against a line of strong army. For this work World Press Photo only gives Luiz a 1st prize stories winner in category General News. Geee. I ask my friend: ‘Why do you think this guy, Suau, win?’, he answered me casually: ‘… dunno, maybe because he is American’.
Eviction notices had been served on families living on the land some days earlier. The squatters, who were protesting against lack of housing in Manaus (Brazil), were evicted after a clash that lasted two hours. Luiz Vasconcelos (Brazil), 1st Prize Stories for General News.
