For me, the New York Times online seems to hide much of its engaging stuff behind its wordy old home page and I tend to not go there unless I'm looking for mainstream news items, forgetting they have so much great photography (I confess I haven't bought the paper version in years). This morning I discovered the "One in 8 Million" feature which is just gorgeous and lovely to use, and I've canceled my plans for the day so I can watch all the stories. These weekly slideshows are still images by Todd Heisler playing over personal accounts by New York characters and all those I've seen so far are winners, in particular Nancy Bunche: The Mayoral Maid as well as Maggie Nesciur: The Walker.
