The end of the year is always a time to look back and reflect on the year just past. Below is a collection of the best sites that review 2008 in photos. While there are some repeated images across these different sites, each has enough unique value that warranted inclusion in this list. Occasionally you will see the same situation photographed from different vantage points. Quite often you will find very clever and uniquely constructed images that tell a story or capture the drama of every day life.
Enjoy the images that made up 2008:
- BBC’s The Year in Pictures 2008
- The Boston Globe’ The Big Picture: The year 2008 in Photographs (part 1 of 3) (part 2 | part 3)
- Chicago Tribune’s Photo Essay: Joy and Sorrow in 2008 (make sure to turn on captions to get a description for each photo, though you may have to manually advance the slide show)
