Was Your Road Trip Like This?

Nice gallery up over at CNN.com looking at the work of Paul McDonough did while road tripping across America in the 1970s. Some fun stuff in there, makes me rethink how to shoot my vacation photos.

Wow … Well, At Least They’re Honest About It

Avoiding the Surface

Over at Wired.com, Jakob Schiller has a post up about Lisa Krantz, the San Antonio Express-News photojournalist who recently won her second Scripps Howard Award for photojournalism.
