Re: Sony World Photography Awards 2008

How can I view the photos at a size larger than the present postage stamp?

Re: Sony World Photography Awards 2008

I must confess that I didn't actually check the thumbnails were links (saw the winning image in a newspaper this morning and thought I'd share). Seems crazy that they aren't, or that the internet can be this developed and people can still design websites badly.

Good job, Jester, on finding some links.

No probs. Im wondering if they haven't posted "large" images anywhere as they are concerned about someone stealing/using image without permssion.

..maybe!
