Barbara Davidson‘s photo on Thursday’s front page of a Somali mother sitting with her severely malnourished 1-year-old son caught the eye of a number of readers.
‘Best, most real and relevant action of L.A. Times this year,’ wrote George Thomas of Los Angeles. ‘PLEASE do more in-depth, real-importance content like this -- SIMPLE pictorial connections like this. What a picture!’
And Sable Crow tweeted, ‘Speaking of incredible images @latimes, this one stopped me in my tracks.’
Davidson described how she wound up covering the famine in Africa, and how she encountered Hawa Barre Osman and her son in a refugee camp in Kenya, in a post on the Framework blog.
