RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

World Press Photo Awards

In September 2006, while wandering aimlessly around the streets of Montreal, I accidentally found the 2005 World Press Photo Exhibition. Five Canadian Dollars got me in the door. The rest was a horribly depressing orgy of brutal, beautiful photography.

While getting out and seeing hundreds of 24×36 gallery prints is great, the 2007/2008 photo + photographer interview feature on this year’s website is pretty damn cool.

Also, as a word of advice to all you people out there with a flash site. This is how you do it. Simple, clean and to the point. Why make it a flash site at all? Be sure to click the little magnifying glass in the lower right.

Check out Tim Hetherington’s soft, blurry, outstanding winning photo and fan favorite, Platon’s portrait of Vladimir Putin. I’d link directly to them… but it’s a flash site. LINK

Look, listen, learn.
