June 1 marked the first anniversary of Alan Taylor's photo blog, The Big Picture, published three times a week by the Boston Globe. Inspired by the oversized graphics of Life Magazine as well as other print and online sources dedicated to photographic excellence, Taylor has reaffirmed the power and immediacy of visual images in storytelling. I discovered the series in January, thanks to some stunning documentation of Obama's inauguration.
Yesterday some equally compelling photos arrived in the wake of the election in Iran. (Thanks to Steve Smith for the tip.)
