Pictures of the Week: November 2 – November 9
From President Obama’s reelection and Superstorm Sandy’s aftermath to a deadly earthquake in Guatemala and a train cemetery in Bolivia, TIME presents the best photographs of the week.
In the wake of Sandy’s destruction, TIME asked Eugene Richards to document the widespread devastation on Staten Island.
In the early ’80s Staten Island seemed like a world away from Manhattan. In Chrisitine Osinki’s newly rediscoved photographs, she reveals a time capsule of the growing borough, caught in a state of limbo between New York City and the rest of America. She recently launched a Kickstarter campaign in hopes of turning the archive into a new book.
Yesterday was the first day same sex couples were allowed to legally marry in the state of New York. TIME sent photographers to each of New York City’s five boroughs to document the harmonious unions taking place throughout the city.
