Photography Pics of the week: The smallest man in the world
Posted by Joeff Davis @joeffly on Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Editor's note: Our Photo Editor, Joeff Davis, constantly bugs the living hell out of me, in a good way. We're never going to be liberal enough for him, we're never going to be newsy enough for him, because he's one of those passionate down-with-the-Man types who thinks the Occupy movement might be a little too corporate sometimes. So, to get him out of my grill — and I hope to give you, dear reader, a weekly dose of kick-ass photography from around the Web — we've asked him to put up the "pics of the week," Joeff's (probably agenda-driven) selections for the best and/or most-important images from the inter-ether. To be honest, I click on every one, every week. You should, too. So here 'tis:
