John Kolesidis
John Kolesidis photographed the riots late last year in Greece which I posted about in December. The rumblings were stirred up by an officer's shooting of 15-year-old Alexander Grigoropoulos during a small disturbance. The violent outbursts were a product of pent up rage over various issues including mistreating protesters, education reform, and corruption. Kolesidis took shots of the clashes (via boston.com), documenting the riots' scale and ferocity. I've been unable to find any biographical information on Mr. Kolesidis, except that his photos are credited to himself and REUTERS, but the shots speak volumes, appropriately telling of the human impact of the riots themselves. Click the images for good resolution and sizing.

Thats disturbing. Only if people were educated enough. Since the cost of education is going up by every second. The govt needs to focus on Life Experience Degree Programs so that people can get a career to start their lives with.
