It snowed on December 19 in the Sahara Desert, and NASA's Landsat 7 satellite was there (or rather, hundreds of miles overhead) to see it. The photo comes from Landsat 7's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus visible-light camera, and depicts the first snowfall recorded in the massive African desert in 37 years. The snow-covered area depicted in the photo lies on the northern end of the desert, near the Moroccan-Algerian border and the town of Ain Safra. Here's the full image, which you can click to enlarge:...

Dronestagram, a drone photography sharing website, recently announced the winners of its annual contest, and the photos are incredible. Contest categories included nature, sports, and travel, with the winners of each category awarded the opportunity to have their photographs featured in National Geographic. They also received a new drone or drone gear, depending on which place they won. The photographs were judged by a National Geographic editor, a National Geographic photographer, and Dronestagram's co-founders, Eric Dupin and Guillaume Jarret.

Here at Co.Design, we cover photography that transports you to other places and offers fresh perspectives on the built environment. We've talked to photographers who have spent years documenting their subjects, traveling the world or assimilating to a subculture so they could show it to us. They've captured grown women who mother hyperrealistic dolls, mysterious "geoglyphs" discovered in Kazakhstan, and alleyways in Hong Kong that double as storage units. Their images prove that despite an onslaught of technological advances aimed at rethinking visual narratives, good old-fashioned photography remains one of the most powerful tools for telling stories. Here, we give you our favorite photo essays from 2015....

While working for publications like National Geographic, Time, and Newsweek, and for NGOs like UNICEF and Oxfam, photographer Ami Vitale has found herself shooting in some of the most beautiful, diverse, and dangerous places in the world.

Ami Vitale has worked for famous publications like National Geographic, Time and Newsweek shooting some of the most beautiful, diverse and dangerous places in the world. As a highly experience professional, she has immersed her photography into numerous things, although rewarding and eye opening, she still finds it something of a challenge to describe herself. But to her, it’s not the label that she finds important, it’s the people and the stories and how she reveals them. She describes being in the Gaza during the Second Intifada where there was dozens of journalists shooting the same scene of violence. She only covered it because that was what her editors wanted her to cover. Then one day she was walking by this beautiful Palestinian wedding and thought to herself, “Why aren’t we showing these images too?” These are people just like you and me and this positive outlook on photography and shooting the happiness that the wedding radiated, it allows us to relate to these people and creates the understanding that they want the same things in life that we do. This moment really made her question her career path. Now on a story of the J Bar L, a 30,000-acre ranch just west of Yellowstone National Park in Montana’s Centennial Valley, Ami gets to be sustainable and progressive. The environment is still tough as nails but this gives her the opportunity to work on a quieter project closer to where she lives. She gets to know these people and discover their story as it unfolds over the years.
