Photographic Milestones at National Geographic

It contains no edits, just a one shot deal, but reporter Mike McNeill with the Beaumont, Texas, Fox affiliate did a standup and interview on his iPad 2, which may be the first broadcast news piece done on the recent released tablet. (And, no, I don’t have one yet.)

Seeing Home

The New York Times’ Lens blog has a post up looking at the work of Los Angeles-based photographer Thomas Michael Alleman who has been wandering his home town’s streets with a plastic Holga camera for the last nine years.
