photo of the year

Images of books on shelves are seen projected on the walls of the Tower of David in Jerusalem's Old City - part of a show called "Or Shalem, Jerusalem Lights the Night", staged by a group called Skertzò on October 7, 2008. The Tower of David is a massive citadel that, over the centuries, has served as a fortress, military barracks and cannon position. These days, the Tower serves as a popular tourist site

*I think that this should be a good canidate for the photo of the year, because it is so unique in the fact that they projected such a clear photo onto the Tower of David. This creates a different and beautiful picture.


A single home is left standing among debris from Hurricane Ike September 14, 2008 in Gilchrist, Texas. In its brief, but eventful life, Ike wreaked enough havoc to be blamed for over $31.5 billion in damage and nearly 150 deaths across the Caribbean and Gulf Coast. (



*I think this should be considered as the photo of the year because of its use of a current event and its wonderful composition. It is focused perfectly and has a clear subject, yet also shows the destruction of the hurricane.
