Sichuan’s earthquake, six months later via The Big Picture
From November 27, 2008 @ 6:00 am
The Big Picture, as I’ve pointed out many times before, is awesome. This week they have a special on the Sichuan Earthquake that happened over 6 months ago. The pictures, as always, are moving.
I wanted to point out #17 first, because it disturbs me greatly. First off, it’s a great picture. I think the lighting and framing and all of that turned out really well. And I love the perspective. But at the same time, it’s just so wrong for some reason.
Second, and on a lighter note, I wanted to point out #32, because it does exactly the opposite from #17.

Macrophotography via The Big Picture.
From November 16, 2008 @ 6:00 am
The Big Picture’s done it again…
I’ve always been a huge fan of macro-photography, especially the über-closeup shots of bugs and other micro-organisms (I think this is left over from my humble nerdy beginnings where I would collect bugs and place them in Tupperware my mom declared as blessed-for-bug-storage). Favorite shot this time around has gotta be #16. The curl of it’s… Nose?… is particularly beautiful.
Hope you enjoy it!

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month via The Big Picture
From September 29, 2008 @ 7:00 pm
I found The Big Picture via Jason Kottke and immediately subscribed to it. I don’t know if I would agree with his assessment that it’s the best new blog of the year, but it certainly is stunning photography and tells whatever story they’re trying to tell in a unique way that is very enjoyable.
Just wanted to link to the current entry, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, because I just about cried while I was reading it. Picture 8 especially got me, as I’ve got my own child coming really soon. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did and if you do subscribe to feeds and you’re not already subscribed to The Big Picture, do it, now!
You know, ’cause it rocks…
