We've been meaning to link The Bigger Picture, the Smithsonian's photography blog, ever since reading about it a few weeks ago in Art Daily. The blog serves as an ongoing discussion about photography, with the resources of the Smithsonian's amazing collection as a big part of it, but what we like is how accessible and down-to-earth it feels. It's easy for museums to talk too much, and most art blogs talk too little, just posting pretty or intriguing images, but The Bigger Picture hits a great middle ground, and its interests are marvelously catholic, much like the institution itself.
Curated magazine's blog, maintained by editor Nick Schonberger, is worth a bookmark as well, with extensive archives and well-tagged posts on a wealth of topics from visual culture.
