Winners of the 2011 National Geographic Photo Contest
The end of the year brings more than just remorse, diminishing bank accounts and dull family gatherings. The start of a new year has us looking back in retrospect, listing a number of “the best of” categories, including music, sports moments, and even photography. National Geographic had the demanding task to review more than 20,000 submissions from over 130 countries for its Best of 2011 Photo Contest. With subjects including cityscapes, ocean-views, the animal kingdom and kinship, to name but a small few, the winning photographer announced a few days ago went to Shikhei Goh for capturing a dragonfly riding out a rainstorm in Indonesia. Awarded $10,000 and a trip to the National Geographic Photography Seminar next year, Goh’s photo, just like many of his competitors, was captured at random in less than ideal conditions.
Peruse through some of the top stills in this years contest and let us know what you think by visiting the link just below.

Steve Jobs: 2012 Grammy Trustees Award
Despite the unfortunate passing of Steve Jobs earlier this year, his legacy continues onwards through remembrance. The 2012 Grammy Awards will present a special Trustees Award in honor of the Apple founder. Jobs’ contributions to the music and media industry have been invaluable, effectively helping a dying and archaic industry enter a new era and business model with iTunes. And of course his help in paving the way for music consumption with the iPod is something that has been universally accepted as the standard for design and innovation.
