On 10 of December the longest lunar eclipse in over ten years animated the night sky. The red hue resulted from the sun's light passing through the earth's atmosphere.
Viewers in Asia had the best view, while those watching in Europe saw part of it at moonrise, and North Americans caught part of it as the moon set.
Museo d'arte Contemporanea Roma (MACRO) will host a large exhibition of Steve McCurry's photography from December 3, 2011 until April 29, 2012. Fabio Novembre, one of the major players in the project, has curated the exhibition and preparation. The photos were not chosen with space-time criteria, but they were organize on the basis of similarity of subjects.
"What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling."
(Cit. Steve McCurry)
