Gerd Ludwig’s “Long Shadow of Chernobyl” project
Internationally renowned photojournalist Gerd Ludwig has spent years documenting the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. In 1986, errors at the plant in Ukraine led to an explosion that ultimately caused over a quarter of a million people to permanently evacuate their homes to escape the radiation and radioactive fallout. Over the course of several trips to the site and the region for National Geographic Magazine in 1993, 2005, and 2011, Ludwig has amassed a documentary record of a people and a place irreparably altered by a tragic accident. His 2011 trip was partially funded by a Kickstarter campaign. Now Ludwig has released an iPad app with over 150 photographs, video, and interactive panoramas.

Best day.. 6 hours, 850 people, a fuck off yacht, Funktion One speakers, all my best friends and Sydney harbour. No words.
If you find that certain someone, that makes you excited by doing nothing, happy in the dullest of times, miss them as soon as they leave the room, find joy in the small things in life.. Well done. Don’t let them go.
