I had been contemplating my next post for a few days when Dave sent me the following link:
http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/12/the_year_2008_in_photographs_p.html
Be sure to view all three pages (click next at the bottom).
These are some of the most amazing photos I have ever seen, some merely because of the powerful and shocking subject matter. Some photos have warnings, believe me these are not for the faint-hearted.
Other photos are amazing because the photographer was in the perfect place at the right time.
Oh how I dream of taking photos like these.

Wow! That was draining. Here are my favourite half dozen. They exclude all the amazing photos of children that are really in a class of their own. (Interesting juxtapositions of kids in wars and gormless skiers and surfers.)
Hon. mention:
page 2 no 8 - Chinese police on Segways
page 2 no 26 - massed skiers - hoping someone will trip
page 1 no 9 - buildings washed up against the bridge
page 1 no 22 - Israeli soldiers raining teargas on peace protesters
Runner up: (slight pun here)
page 1 no 10 - Kenyan runners in the air
Winner:
page 2 no 31 - Muslim women praying at beginning of Ramadan - this one's going on my fridge door.
BTW I read the Ramsey book last year. Very good. Gave it to Graham for his birthday. Hope you enjoy it.
Perhaps that should be Ramsay.
