Boston Globe's The Big Picture has been getting a lot of attention online lately for their uncompromising focus on presenting interesting pictures, and untraditional format. I really like this interview with Alan Taylor, the creator of the blog.
We've been working hard on finding a good way to present photo diaries on the net with phiary.com for the last year, and this post was a great inspiration. I feel our format is really good for portrait style pictures, but we do have something to learn from Alan on presenting landscape-mode pictures. We're in total agreement about the content tho
you can find some mind-blowing images there, but I always felt like it lacked context, depth, story.
That's absolutely the direction I see for great photo blogs in the near future.
Wow, thanks for pointing me to The Big Picture. I wasn’t aware of that site, but it’s truly gorgeous!
