‘He thought I was nuts’: Guidance counselor snaps photos of wild squirrels interacting with miniature props
Wednesday was Nancy Rose’s day off. For most of the afternoon, the high school guidance counselor from Bedford, N.S., was crouched on her porch, her camera fixed on a miniature bathtub that was carefully staged on a railing. Ms. Rose was waiting for a squirrel to approach the tub and reach for the peanuts inside. National Post reporter Jake Edmiston interrupted Wednesday’s photo shoot to speak to the photographer, whose whimsical depictions of the woodland creatures are garnering international attention.

Demolition around a parked car — The pace of building the new and tearing down the old in China is so frantic, that often demolition and construction has to go regardless of the objects that may stand in its way. The scenes like this are often the result of the breakneck pace of rebuilding: A car that was left behind in a shutdown carpark is surrounded by debris after construction began to widen a street in Taiyuan, north China’s Shanxi province on May 6, 2013. The construction unit started working around the car after they failed to contact the owner several days ago. (AFP/Getty Images)

Indian widows throw flowers during Holi celebrations, or the festival of colors, at an event organized by the NGO Sulabh at the Meera Sahbhagini Ashram in Vrindavan, India. The widows, many of whom at times have lived desperate lives in the streets of the temple town, celebrated Holi for the first time at the century old ashram. The women were banished by their families after their husband’s deaths to the town where devotees believe Lord Krishna was born, for supposedly bringing bad luck.

Heartbreaking picture of Palestinian funeral march wins World Press Photo top prize
Swedish photographer Paul Hansen won the 2012 World Press Photo award Friday for newspaper Dagens Nyheter with a picture of two Palestinian children killed in an Israeli missile strike being carried to their funeral.
The picture shows a group of men marching the dead bodies through a narrow street in Gaza City. The victims, a brother and sister, are wrapped in white cloth with only their faces showing.
“The strength of the pictures lies in the way it contrasts the anger and sorrow of the adults with the innocence of the children,” said jury member Mayu Mohanna of Peru. “It’s a picture I will not forget.”

Instagram’s ‘suicide note’: Users furious over photo-sharing service’s privacy changes
In what photography fans are labeling a “suicide note,” Facebook’s Instagram photo-sharing service revealed a new privacy policy that states it may sell information and photos to advertisers without compensation or notification to users.
The announcement was quickly met with anger, as users threaten to shut down their accounts and switch to other photo-sharing services like Flickr, while others used the hashtag #quitstagram.
“To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you,” Instagram said in a blog post.
The changes are set to take effect on January 16, 2013. (KAREN BLEIER/AFP/Getty Images)
