Since the U.S. Capitol attack, news orgs have published helpful analyzes of video + pix from the day. That reporting has given us a good idea of what happened, or at least what was visible. This @NYT story is on the "Oath Keepers". #Capitol #CapitolRiot

By comparison, just 32 people filmed or took photos of + in the moments around the assassination of JFK. (This pic by @Reuters Leah Mills) Image

Every day, @Reuters photographers capture the news: the first vaccination; protestors in HK; a mob attacks the U.S. Capitol. I love the way many also spin patterns + even art from the events around them. Here are 5 pix from recent days that force you to look at the world afresh: 1.

2. People in #Singapore watch a movie outdoors. The setup allows them to distance themselves and avoid catching the coronavirus. Edgar Su took this pic.

It's hard to capture the absence of activity. How do you show something that is missing? These wonderful @reuters pictures do just that.

First, the National Mall in Washington on March 15.
