The Big Picture

The Boston Globe's Alan Taylor runs a great photo blog called The Big Picture, which is published on Boston.com, the newspaper's Internet gateway.  The blog features a new photo essay every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  Taylor picks the theme of each essay, usually choosing something relevant to recent news and events.  He scours the photowires for the best shots, and then publishes them in high resolution.  Unlike daily photo blogs which publish one photo per page, TBP publishes each essay (which usually includes between 25 and 40 photographs) as one long, vertically-scrollable web page.  In my opinion, TBP has been the web's best photo blog for a long time, so I am happy that it has recently gained an enormous following and that it was recently nominated for a Weblog Award.
