Raw Images #1

In the course of editing the LPB I happen upon a lot of great images that, in the end, I decide not to feature. This seemed like such a waste, but one has to have standards. However, around two months ago I decided to start bookmarking those images that didn't quit make the cut, and create a special file for them. The idea was that while individually these images didn't warrant a post of their own, collectively they might. Well, the time has come for the first in what I expect will be a long running series of posts featuring collections of great images that deserve a second look.

Clicking on the images will lead you to their original sources and the equally intriguing stories behind them.
