It is a habit at the end of every year to make a selection of the best photos taken during the course of the year. This year is no different. Most of the websites made their own selections. I only had to collect these collections together (just like I did last year and the year before as well) to make it easier for you to find the best photos of the year passing away.
Just like the years before the blog of Monroe Gallery and the Hungarian Photo History blog too made their own selections and both of them helped me greatly with my collection. Many of the links in my list are from these two sources and I just had to add a few here and there what they didn’t find.
At the end of the list you find a few videos as well. If you would like to watch the agency photo selections in video with some music rather than clicking through a lot of galleries just do it.
But if you still don’t find the list complete enough just send me what galleries you think I should add to this collection.
