Morgan posted a photo story from this blog earlier, but I wanted to draw everyone's attention back to this site. The Boston Globe features a blog called The Big Picture that posts new photo stories almost every day. They are always really good. 

Take a look at this story of sapphire mining in Madagascar- it is beautifully shot. The humanity of the miners is really captured in these shots, as well as the conditions of their workplace.

Wow. The story on the sapphire mines in so amazing. I agree, I love that the blogs posts all the photos huge.

The girls dancing are so sweet--it's the only moment of happiness and spontaneity in the piece. I'm so bad at scene setting shots, but the wide shots in this one are great.

I love the opening photo. The light is perfect.
