The Big Picture

The Boston Globe introduced their Big Picture feature which became an overnight sensation. It is a web version of a traditional newspapers rotogravure edition -- a weekly 'magazine' included with the newspaper that is printed on a better paper stock and using a different printing process to give a very high quality image. Now, the Denver Post is taking up the torch and running. They have a Photo Blog series called Captured. This photo is from the series: America in Color from 1939-1943

These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America�s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.
Some wonderful stuff... Posted by DaveH at August 7, 2010 8:28 PM
