Uhh, Really? A Musical About an FSA Photographer?

I am as big a fan of Dorothea Lange as you will find. Take away all the issues around her life, just her work alone is amazing stuff. But to make a musical about her life? Uhhh … hmmm … okay, I won’t pass judgement on this. Because, well, I like the overture … oh, wait, I just listened to...

The 1930s and 1940s, in Color

I’ve posted links to some similar collections, but the Denver Post has, again, eclipsed everyone else with their collection of color images from the 1930s and 1940s. Maybe it’s just me, but these images are fascinating because we’re so used to seeing the subjects in black and white.

The Jazz Loft

In the late 1950s, W. Eugene Smith moved into a New York City apartment building known as the Jazz Loft. He made more than 40,000 images of musicians playing for the fun of it, along with hours and hours of audio recordings. Now, the show is on the road.

Austin Road Trip, Anyone?

I suspect I’m going to have to find a reason in the next few years to head to the University of Texas at Austin – they’ve just acquired a 200,000 print archive from Magnum Photos. What a research opportunity … heck, what an opportunity to experience history. The article says it’s only the print archive, not the copyrights to any...

Every National Geographic Issue on One Hard Drive

National Geographic has had a DVD set of all their issues out for a while. (A previous CD-ROM version caused a little bit of a legal issue for them, as well.) Now, they’ve created a newer version that’s delivered on a hard drive. And is updatable (though there’s no hint as to what an update will cost). Who’ll be interested...
