Here is a brief – by no means comprehensive – roundup of some of this year’s best of 2009 in photography galleries. If there are other Web sites I have missed, please post them in the comments section or feel free to e-mail me a link.
The New York Time’s The Year in Pictures – This was my favorite gallery as far as Web site interface. I love how you can follow along with the time line.
Time Magazine The Year in Pictures 2009
Los Angeles Times 2009 in Focus: Best of Times photography – Memorable moments captured by Los Angeles Times photographers in 2009
National Geographic Traveler Best Photos of 2009 – This slide show is accompanied by commentary by Kieth Bellows, Editor, which gives a different kind of insight into the images.
The Wall Street Journal 2009 Year in Photos – I like how the WSJ breaks the images up into categories including The Journal’s Best, Obama’s First Year, Remembrances and Fashion Trends, to name a few.
MSNBC 2009 Year in Pictures – again with audio, MSNBC uses news broadcasts, the voices of those pictured and a little music to push the drama.
