Here's a website we could get lost in for long stretches.
Vintage Works is a Pennsylvania-based photography dealer that hosts some wonderful virtual exhibits. There are views of Italy in the 1850s, 19th century India, eye-popping architectural images, as well as first-rate contemporary work.
And there's one shot by Jacques Lowe of JFK and Jackie having dinner in the White House, just the two of them, that somehow captures the end of an era. Most of Lowe's negatives, sadly, were destroyed in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
