I wouldn’t normally post up a ‘guy in the sky’ photo, but in this case I’ll make an exception. I spied this photo of Davy Zyw of Britain rocking an old Agent in the London Frieze festival in one of the NY Times photo blogs, and now you can, too.
The New York Times released their take on 2008 in photos, which can bee seen in its entirety here. There are some excellent images shown in this story, and some of my favorites have been stolen fare and square, and are shown below. Not nearly as good as the images shown in my previous post on The Big Picture, but good none the less. Most interesting to me are the lost Robert Capa negatives. Some digging around brought me to this link with info about them and a few images from the set. Fingers crossed that the ICP is printing them for a future exhibit.
The Boston Globe has, what i consider, the best photojournalism on the internet. Sure, you might get some amazing photos here or there, but the Globe is consistently on point with their imagery. The Big Picture is a regular visit for me, and i continue to be blown away with the images they display. They are currently showcasing “2008 in Photographs” in a 3 part series. Part one and two are up as of this morning, with part 3 coming. Below are some images that blew me away from the first 2 sets, stolen fair and square. For the back story on all these photos and much more, make sure you check out The Big Picture site.
EDIT: Part 3 is now up. Get in there, spend some time, learn something new.
Education in photographs.
One other recent gallery that blew my mind was of the riots in Greece last week. Enjoy.
