I'm hoping to get to the World Press Photo Exhibition at the State Library before it finishes on 5 June.

The bus shelter advertising for this exhibition has been lighting up my neurons every morning for a fortnight. There's a number of stellar shots on view, but by far my favourite is this one of locals in the Congo evacuating enormous dead mountain gorillas with makeshift stretchers.
