LIFE and TIME Magazines: the 2009 year in photos

As usual in December both these magazines publish on their web site galleries with photos that depicted not just the most important events of the year but also some of the most spectacular, intriguing and sometimes shocking photo-journalistic shots.

Both these galleries really deserve to be browsed and appreciated and also consider to navigate through the LIFE website as its filled with great, great (and I mean great) pictures from today and the past. Too bad isn't published anymore on paper.

While I love PC screens and the net a photo is still a lot more enjoyable printed on the good, glossy paper of a magazine that you could read while sitting in a cozy armchair while having a good drink.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think this year I will subscribe to more magazine that still invest in quality imagery. Quality must survive.
