Off-and-on rain showers – and rainbows – are expected to continue into Tuesday in the Bay Area, as a storm system that brought high winds, power outages and flooding over the long weekend continues to persist.
Half a year ago, National Geographic photographer Jimmy Chin and writer Grayson Schaffer coined the term “Little person, big landscape!” to describe the kind of picture that appeals to the masses of the Instagram era. We've all seen it; a sole figure is dwarfed by a mountain, a forest, a vast expanse of wildflowers or snow. The genre (if we can call it that) is definitely having a moment right now. In the wrong hands, it can seem cheap, even trite, but there's one reason it isn't going away: when done well, there's nothing like it.
