Philippine Revolution Revisited

Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Kim Komenich recently launched Revolution Revisited, an online presentation dedicated to the 1986 Philippine revolution and its relevance today. Revolution Revisited presents 13 multimedia stories of Filipinos—from field workers to government officials—that Komenich photographed in 1986 and 2011. It also serves as an entry point for Filipinos that were photographed by Komenich in the 1980s to connect with him in his effort to learn more about the people and revolution he photographed more than 25 years ago. Komenich took more than 28,000 photos between 1984 and 1986 during four extended assignments to the Philippines for the San Francisco Examiner. During this time he photographed the four-day People's Power Revolution that ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos and brought Corazon Aquino to power. Komenich was awarded the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography for this work. In 2011, he started to track down the subjects of his photographs from this…
