Works by Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, and Leonardo da Vinci are among the features of this online collection. Those photos were originally published in one of the Time Inc. magazines, which include Time , Life , Fortune , and Sports Illustrated . Mikoda's choice of this site among the best of those he has examined is not surprising. It contains photographs of forgotten, modern, and natural wonders. This site is the perfect place for students to find pictures for their reports on famous locations like the Taj Mahal, The Parthenon, and The Great Wall of China.
Educators report that The Amazing Picture Machine has been very useful.
Some of the feedback is from people suggesting places where we can find good pictures, some of the feedback is from people asking us to find specific pictures, and occasionally someone writes us with a pat on the back. Mikoda often hears from educators who have a mission for him. In the last few weeks I've looked for photographs of the Berlin Wall, Albert Einstein, and aardvarks. You have no idea how hard it is to find a good aardvark photograph. I add links to the photographs to The Amazing Picture Machine, and reply to the e-mail with a list of Internet addresses where the types of images they are looking for can be found.
