Q&A: Liz O. Baylen, Winner of 4 POYi Awards

Hats off to Los Angeles Times photojournalist Liz O. Baylen, a four-time winner in the 67th Pictures of the Year International Awards.

We've been featuring POYi winners for the past few days on KobreGuide, and the rest of this week will be devoted to Baylen's award-winning audio-slideshows and videos.

Plus, KobreGuide senior editor Beth Renneisen got an exclusive interview with Baylen (while she was on assignment in Haiti).

Here are the Baylen gems to watch for this week, starting today with "Waiting for Death," a poetic multimedia profile of a 90-year-old suicide prevention pioneer contemplating his own demise.
