Art Crimes: The Writing on the Wall
This online exhibit of photos of graphitti from around the world was one of the earliest online exhibits featured on the World Wide Web. Beginning in 1994 with photos by Susan Farrell it has continued to grow in size and scope. As of April 1999 Art Crimes had more than 3000 images from 205 cities, 43 countries and 6 continents.
Artcyclopedia
A fine arts search engine - links only to those Web resources that provide art online. As of March, 2000 they claimed to have "700 leading arts sites, and [to] offer more than 24,000 links directly to an estimated 80,000 works by 7,000 different artists."
American Museum of Photography
Not nearly as stuffy as it's name, this museum features the expected classics of photography as well as an exhibit of dogs posed and/or dressed as people and a set of tall-tale postcards.
Camera Works - Washington Post
The Washington Post Web site is laden with photos -- The day in photos, the week in photos, On Assignment which features large slide-show like exhibits of particular photographers, Best of the Post which collects images from WP's staff photographers, and many more. CameraWorks seems to have taken over where Life magazine left off, presenting both photo essays and sometimes stunning single images.
Digital Photography Exhibit
An international juried exhibit exploring new work created by artists who work with cameras and computers.
Duane Michals and Hans Neleman
Two photographers who use staged photography and darkroom and post-darkroom manipulation, to create images of "spirituality, life-after-death, dreams, fears and desire."
Tête à Tête: Portraits by Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sixty-eight photos and an essay "Conversations in Silence" by Philip Brookman from the Washingtonpost.com. Also listen to Susan Stamberg's October 28, 1999 audio essay (requires free RealAudio player) on the Cartier-Bresson exhibit.

Produced between 1935 and 1942, this visual archive reflects the expanding interest in American material culture that began to emerge at that time." Images in 3 sizes.
Jerry Uelsmann
Long before Photoshop and digital imaging techniques, Jerry Uelsmann was making complex photomontages in his darkroom.""Most photographers I know carry many cameras with multiple attachments. I carry one. Most photographers I know have one enlarger. I have half a dozen,"
Posters American Style
An extensive and well documented exhibit from National Museum of American Art curated by Therese Heyman. I would like to see larger images, but many at least have blow-ups of particular sections of a poster.
Currier & Ives: Printmakers to the American People
Presented by the Museum of the City of New York, curated by Bonnie Yochelson. Unfortunately they skimped on the online version. Many images are too dark and not scanned with the care and respect these images deserve.
Physiognomy -- The Mark Seliger Photographs
By Doug Gottlieb "In this exclusive video, Rolling Stone chief photographer Mark Seliger takes you behind-the-scenes at his most famous shoots, compiled for the first time in his new book, Physiognomy, published by Bulfinch Press. Watch Mark shoot Fiona Apple, the cast of Seinfeld and more." You will need QuickTime to see the video. 16 still images also available here.
Magnum Photos
Stunning. "Magnum is a cooperative of nearly sixty photographers that was founded in 1947. Membership admittance requires an internal nomination process and presentation of new bodies of personal work before nominees can advance first to associate, then to full member status."
Masters of Photography
A growing collection of images, articles and resources of photographers from Timothy O'Sullivan's civil war photos to contemporaries like Diane Arbus
