- Your Shot Photos of the Week
Your best photos of the week, April 5, 2019
Each week, our editors choose stunning photos submitted by members of Your Shot, National Geographic's photo community.
The Your Shot photo community never ceases to amaze me (maybe that’s why we were nominated for a Webby… vote here). On my mind as I made this photo selection for the weekly roundup were the reasons why we make photos. I was traveling last weekend to a new place with friends I hadn’t spent time with in many years, and while I loved documenting our antics, I felt myself gathering everyone for selfies more often than usual. As documentarians, we frequently aren’t in the pictures of our lives because we’re making them, so I like to think a little selfie here and there never hurt anyone.
