June 27, 2021, New York City, New York, USA: New York City’s Pride march returned Sunday, a year after the coronavirus outbreak forced the celebration to go online-only for the first time in its history. This year’s event was partially virtual but the LGBTQ + community has come up with creative ways to make the show go on. A smaller Pride March through the West Village took place on the sidelines of giant gay parties all over Greenwich Village such as some protests claiming the rights of the Rainbow community. Two years ago, NYC Pride was the largest it’s ever been as New York City celebrated the 50th anniversary of Stonewall and hosted World Pride, bringing millions together to celebrate and advocate for equality.

As Tampa Bay’s housing prices continue to skyrocket, ordinary people are feeling the g-forces of a rapidly changing region. A shortage of houses for sale has resulted in a unprecedented competition for those in the market to buy a property. This market trend has taken the dream of homeownership well beyond the means of middle class Americans, who are increasingly up against higher income buyers for what seems like an ever decreasing smaller pool of homes. For some, the climbing demand and soaring costs are a sign of prosperity, while for others, the change is proving devastating. As the housing supply is dwarfed by demand, longtime residents are left with nowhere to go. Suddenly, people who once lived modest but comfortable lives are bracing for homelessness. Voices from the front lines of Tampa Bay’s housing boom, including would be home owners, tenants, landlords and those just trying to help describe this moment in their own words. Welcome to ‘Unaffordable’ AMERICAN DREAM

“The problem as a photographer is trying to document this tastefully,” she said. “There’s a lot of pictures I don’t even transmit because they are too gruesome.” Still, Guzy said, you “can’t sugarcoat reality.”

At least 403 civilian bodies, many of whom were brutally tortured and killed, were discovered in mass graves in Bucha, a once affluent suburb of Kyiv. The grim work now begins in Bucha gathering evidence of possible war crimes by Russian troops. The media tour was intended to show journalists the horrors that Ukrainian forces have uncovered in recent days before investigators remove the bodies and start the careful work of gathering evidence. The forensic process will be necessary to counter the Kremlin’s insistence its forces are not to blame for the deaths of civilians, as Moscow has claimed the atrocities were staged or carried out by Ukrainian forces. Images of the atrocities committed in towns of Irpin and Bucha near Kyiv have drawn condemnation around the world. Ukrainian authorities hope it could influence the western response to the invasion of Ukraine put in motion by Russian president Putin on February 24. Welcome to ‘War Crimes Watch: BUCHA’S HORROR’
‘We published a lot of images as… well… “pictures that need to be seen”, – Kelli Grant, photography Director Yahoo news.

It will be live at 5am ET, Friday 4/22. (Noon in Kyiv)
