Wow, great shots from Dakar!

Wish more sites maintained EXIF data, curious what was used on that shot of the biker in the brush.

There's a new album up which is worth a look

http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/01/the_inauguration_of_president.html

It really shows the diversity of the celebrations, and although the images might not be as astonishing as some of the others, they really tell a story, and its brilliantly done

I especially like this one
may not be all that glamorous, but it really says a lot
