Mike D Launches Big Picture Site
My one-time colleague at the Riverfront Times, Mike DeFilippo, has begun a stand-alone site, featuring the photos he's been taking for MayorSlay.com. It's found at sainlouisbigpicture.com. Though it principally includes the shots for the Mayor's site, some outtakes and alternate shots can be found, as well.
Definitely worth a peek, peeps.
Reads his introductory page text, in part:

This website is a sample from my archive of work documenting life in the City of Saint Louis, Missouri.
Your can't spell archive without A-R-C-H, but there is more to the city than the stainless steel sculpture perched on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
Culture, joy, beauty and wonder abound in this old town. My goal is to create a life portrait of this great American city...
The "Big Picture" is a weekly photo feature I first produced in print from 1990-1994. It currently appears on line at www.mayorslay.com/bigpicture. Many of the photos posted in this archive are selections from that feature. Others are out takes and personal unpublished favorites.
