The Big Picture
About once a week, the photo editors at the Boston Globe put together a collection of brilliant images from around the world that they call The Big Picture.
Sometimes they focus on a single story for example: Perseid meteor shower. Sometimes the images are a collection like this story: 2015 Year in Pictures: Animals. Often they cover news events like: Paris attacks.
If you’re looking for inspiration take a look at this blog.
