This column presents awards to websites and their imagery that I consider to be outstanding either from the imagery or from the website perspective. In the column I discuss what it is that has grabbed me about the work or the site, what impressed me most and what I learned from the work or the site. The aim from now on is to present one award a week or four a month, because there is a huge amount of great work out there and if I can help bring some attention to it, then that is good.

 

This award grew out of finding interesting art/photo sites for my visual arts and photography students to go look at. It occurred to me I might as well share them more widely.

 

Note - each article includes some lowres screengrabs of the site that were representative at the time the article was written. Please go visit the site for a proper impression and to see all the great work they feature.
