« NPR Picture Show: Images that Inspire

Today, I want the snow to STOP. Don't you? That's why I chose to feature the above photo by photojournalist Clark Maxwell, which is aptly titled Stop the Snow. It is part of a collection called NPR Picture Show which is published online by National Public Radio (NPR) at The Picture Show Blog. I peruse this Flickr collection frequently to get inspiration and ideas. The collection features works by some 870 professional photographers and, as of today, displays 3,301 photos. I recommend taking a look any time you need some inspiration. Here's how the creators of The Picture Show Blog describe the blog and photo collection:

What is 'The Picture Show' blog? It's a daily take on what National Public Radio looks like -- through photographs and video. It is the NPR story-telling sound, visually translated.

Who will be posting here? Keith Jenkins, NPR's supervising senior producer for multimedia, and his team of visual journalists: Coburn Dukehart, John Poole, David Gilkey, Heather Murphy and a rotating cast of interns.

What do photography and video have to do with radio? It is often said that radio paints pictures with words and sound; we are simply returning the favor.

What can I expect to find here? Great visual journalism from NPR's photographers, video journalists, producers and reporters. Also, selected photographs, videos and stories from some of the best camera-wielding journalists in the world.
