“The Big Picture” now available on mobile with Kinoma Play

If you love great photography — images like they used to print in Life Magazine of old and National Geographic — you will adore The Big Picture.

The Big Picture is a photo blog created by by Alan Taylor for The Boston Globe/boston.com. It’s an always-reliable source for high quality, amazing imagery, with a focus on current events, lesser-known stories and “just about anything that comes across the wire that looks really interesting”.

In the past, beautiful photography was considered a poor fit on mobile, and in fact even the best mobile web browsers don’t do these photos justice.

But Kinoma Play makes it so effortless to zoom in, pan around and “fly though” the amazing detail in these photos that they retain a powerful emotional punch even on devices with smaller screens.

You can find The Big Picture in Kinoma Guide at Pictures & Photocasts > The Big Picture. New photostreams are posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
