The Big Picture

I wanted to share a photojournalism website that I've really enjoyed over the last several months.  My friend Scott told me about it and I love checking in every week to see what is posted.  It is called The Big Picture and is a part of the Boston Globe website.  As it says on the site, it is intended to highlight high-quality, amazing imagery, with a focus on current events, lesser-known stories or just anything that looks interesting.  The images usually come from the AP, Reuters or Getty Images, so are ones you'd see in the newspaper or on news sites.  On this site though, they are combined to tell a story along with their captions.  The current post(s) are the 2008 Year in Pictures and they are very interesting.  Be sure to check it out when you have a few minutes.  Also, if you are on the site, hitting j advances to the next picture and hitting k takes you back to the previous one.  Enjoy!
