Getting the most out of LIFE

One of the reasons for this blog is that its a place to post more offbeat pictures than I would normally upload to Flickr, and then explain and discus them. (Which I know I could do on Flickr, but anyway...) However, before I have got round to actually posting any images, I decided I wanted to share this website I found today, called Life. It's owned partly by Getty Images so all the photos are from professionals. What I like is that they are covering current news stories, but just focusing on the pictures. For example, at the moment they have a story (in pictures) of the upheaval taking place in Honduras. While you obviously need to read something to understand the basic facts, when it comes to appreciating how individuals are being effected, a picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words.
