Time.com has posted an audio slideshow of more color photos from the depression, complete with a simple narration that tells some of the back story. I know it’s silly, but it’s so darn cool …

A nice collection from Time.com looking at how President Franklin Roosevelt used news photography to his advantage. Of course, Time has an (obviously) retouched image in there that they’re not saying anything about … guess I need to write them another letter.

Jon Vibe spotted this … Life.com has a selection of photos from Anthony Karen’s upcoming book, “The Invisible Empire: Ku Klux Klan.” The editors refer to the photos as “unnerving,” so you know. There is a good discussion in the captions about gaining access and trust.

CNN.com has a brief story up about the ability of images to become icons, citing famous images such as Eddie Adams’ Viet Cong execution image and John Filo’s Kent State shooting photo. The news hook is the video of an Iranian woman from the recent protests. (Thanks to Stephanie Jackson for the link.)
