so...if you haven't noticed...i like pictures. a lot. i like taking them, i like looking at them, i like being inspired by them, i like finding people who are talented in the craft.
one of my favorite websites is the big picture. basically it's news in picture form. the "stories" are relevant and the work is incredible. the most recent stories are more human interest than top news, but still very interesting.
some of my favorites from the past include...

those are amazing! i agree about the opening ceremonies pictures....so many fantastic ones to choose from!
but the congo photos are making me seriously re-consider the country we adopt from...we're adopting at least one child and we've always said it would be either from china or romania. i wish i had endless supplies of money, energy, time and nannies...i'd adopt a football team worth of kids!
Great choices!
