2008 in Photographs: Looking Back

"2008 has been an eventful year to say the least - it is difficult to sum up the thousands of stories in just a handful of photographs. That said, I will try to do what I've done with other photo narratives here, and tell a story of 2008 in photographs. It's not the story of 2008, it's certainly not all stories, but as a collection it does show a good portion of what life has been like over the past 12 months. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days."

Those are just two photo I selected from amonst the 120 amazing photographs that were selected to encompass some of what happened in 2008 around the world. Sadly, many of the photos encompass some of the violence that we see around the world - let's hope 2009 is a year where more peace, and less violence, will be the norm. Enjoy the photos! Be sure to check out part two and part three after looking at part one.
