CANNES, France (AP) — Daniel Cole, a freelance photographer who does extensive work for The Associated Press, mostly in southern France, spends the majority of his time covering hard news.

It is an event that ceaselessly invites you to photograph people, a rare occurrence in the day-to-day of a news photographer. |
