JJ van Heerden sent in this link, saying “Go and have a look at this site. Awesome, creative photography. Makes most other photo sharing sites look amateurish…”.

Ashes and Snow

This link to Ashes and Snow was submitted by JJ, our technical advisor, who writes;

Just a link for the blog that I personally believe is a must-see for every photographer on the planet. It is a touring exhibition of photographs and movie clips called “Ashes and Snow” by artist Gregory Colbert.

The exhibition has been visited by over 10 million people, making it the most successful exhibition by a living artist in history.

The site is flash-based and bandwidth hungry, which makes an ADSL connection or a lot of patience a necessity.

The gems are mostly under the “EXPLORE” option. Definitely the most evocative photography I have ever seen.

Note that the link JJ provided links directly to the Enhanced Experience but there is also a Basic Experience accessible via a link from the home page.
