Sites for sore eyes

If you like to look at photos, or if you study photo-editing techniques, the very best of the best galleries are, in my opinion, those at the Washington Post site. From this web page you can link to various galleries. The "Day in Photos" gallery is a place I visit daily.

What sets these galleries apart from almost all other photo displays you see on the web or in print is the selection of interesting photos that are well-composed and cropped to perfection. This is a textbook photo site produced with uncommon expertise.

Also, for web-site-building expertise, and for editing copy for web readership, visit the site of The Week Magazine.

This one has broken free of the box in which other news sites seem confined because they can't quit copying one another - and they invariably are difficult to read and navigate. The Week site should be on copy writers' editors' and web designers' must-read list.

You'll find an amazing and visually riveting photo display at Jumping Boy web site. I mentioned this site a couple years ago when this young fellow was being photographed by his dad in a series of 365 jumping poses - one each day.

You'd think that project would have worn him out, but he kept on jumping and his web site has grown even more interesting. Likely if you visit, you'll get hooked too.
