Badass of the Day: Webby Nominee Nick Cobbing
The 12th annual Webby Award nominees were announced yesterday. The Webbys are a pretty big deal; they’re presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and
Sciences, a “550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures,
luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities.” It’s pretty sweet to win one of these, but excellent just to be nominated (really)! Here are some of the lightweights who have won in the past:
Amazon.com, eBay, Yahoo!, iTunes, Google, FedEx, BBC News, CNN, MSNBC,
The New York Times, NPR, Salon Magazine, Evite, Meetup, Wikipedia,
Flickr, ESPN, Comedy Central, PBS, and The Onion.
This is the nomination field for this year’s BEST USE OF PHOTOGRAPHY category:
National Geographic Magazine- Your Shot
PENTAX Photo Gallery
Peroni Calendario
Dangerous Ground Project

BUT THEN WE HAVE NICK COBBING! Nick is a lone photographer. This site is his portfolio site. I mean, could there be a bigger coup? The site is so damn impressive. I know I’ve seen it somewhere before, earlier this year…. but where?
No matter. Here are some images from Cobbing’s project, Ice. yeah, they’re awesome. Maybe next year you should get yourself a Webby, too.
Rob Haggart had a small lovefest over Cobbing…
ah, that must be where i saw him. i’m haggart mind-melding today.
dontcha wanna send links to each other all day? I feel validated for gushing over that website a couple different times.
