For your viewing pleasure: The Big Caption

As you’ve probably read over the last week, we’re big fans of photo-blogs like the New York Times’ Lens blog, which showcase some of the best photography from around the world each and every day.

Alongside Lens, there’s also the Big Picture, run by the Boston Globe. Again, it shows big images every day from somewhere on the planet.

It’s now got it’s own spin-off, in the rather hilarious The Big Caption. Each day, someone takes the Globe’s Big Picture, and sticks an off the wall Big Caption all over it, to create a new piece of art altogether. The man behind it, Ian Collins clearly has a good grasp of graphic design and typography, as well as a great sense of humour making this concept a brilliant cheer-me-up to stick in your Google Reader, not to mention being occasionally profound.

These are great, but I think there is a real issue about the copyright of these images.  I don’t think it will be very long before the lawyers at Getty send The Big Caption a Big Bill!
