Visual Highlights from 2008


The New York Times is featuring The Year in Pictures for 2008.  Below are my favorites:

Obama

Obama commands power when he speaks.  The lighting in this shot highlights that.

baby

This is the evacuation of a baby in Iraq.  The most fascinating war photos are the ones that combine compassion and hostility.

Blood

This is the aftermath of a terrorist attack in Mumbai.  The carnage makes it a disturbing photo, but equally important.

Brooklyn

New York always looks better at night.  This is the Brooklyn bridge, lit up to the fullest.

Art

Gilbert and George at the Brooklyn museum.  I had the chance to see some of their work in London as well.
