The Year 2008 in Photographs (part 1 of 3)

If you do not check boston.com‘s Big Picture at least once a week then you might as well sell your computer to someone who is willing to put it to good use. Seriously, add this one to your RSS feed. The collections are always striking and provocative.

Right now they are posting the Best Photos of 2008 in three installments. Parts two and three will be tomorrow and Saturday.

If those are a bit too serious for you, I highly recommend that you head over to The Smoking Gun and check out their Best Mugshots of 2008. Hilarity WILL ensue.
