The Winner of Prestigious World Press Photo of the Year 2013 
American photographer John Stanmyer was just announced as the winner of the prestigious World Press Photo of the Year 2013 award for a stunning image that shows African migrants on the shore of Djibouti city (in the Horn of Africa or 13 miles northwest of the Somalia border), holding cellphones in the air. Are they taking a selfie or capturing the bright white moon? Not quite. The migrants are raising their phones to try and capture an inexpensive signal from neighboring Somalia so that they can call their relatives who live abroad.
