There is a lot of great stuff here. My favourite image on the front page right now is this one by Amy Stein.

As a former photojournalism major, I really love good documentary photography. With the cutbacks in the newspaper industry and the combination of job titles, it's been difficult to see more good documentary photography. Yes, we have citizen journalism and people taking pictures with their phones to get us closer to the actual action than ever before, but what we often miss is a trained eye to do what Henri Cartier-Bresson said best, "capture the moment."
