Anja Niedringhaus/Associated Press – Tribute. Anja Niedringhaus was one of the most talented, bravest and accomplished photojournalists of her generation. Her senseless death at the hands of Afghan police officer on April 4, 2014 deprived the world of an extraordinary person. Her storytelling skill with a camera was extraordinarily effective, a reflection of her own open gaze and genuine compassion for her subjects. Her enthusiasm and good cheer were infectious, even in the darkest of circumstances. She consistently volunteered for the hardest assign- ments and was remarkably resilient in carrying them out time after time. She truly believed in the need to bear witness.
