		<title>The Old Feeds On The New</title>
		<description><![CDATA[37signals has an excellent piece on the purchase of Mint by Intuit.

		<title>Yes, there IS a camera attached to that lens&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Engadget has an amusing story (more photos and video at the site) about the new Olympus E-P1 micro four thirds camera with a big honking lens attached to it. You can see the camera if you look closely.

		<title>The Dawn of Kodachrome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time Magazine has a great (but too short) photographic essay on FSA photographers who used Kodak color film to record scenes from the Great Depression. When you&#8217;re so used to seeing that time period in black and white&#8230; color can be quite startling.

		<title>The Genius of Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw a great six part documentary a year or so ago on BBC 4 called The Genius of Photography, which doesn&#8217;t appear to be available on DVD outside of the UK&#8230; but can be found in the various places on the internets where video is usually located. I won&#8217;t Google it for you but&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times photography blog Lens, has a really interesting collection of cell phone photos by Shawn Rocco, providing further examples that it ain&#8217;t the camera, the lighting, or any other special equipment that makes a photo interesting&#8230; and in fact, using a simple stripped down camera can sometimes let you get back to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook Will Eat Your Face And Steal Your Soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep reading disturbing things about Facebook lately&#8230; like their being sued for violation of privacy laws&#8230; that have made me skittish enough that I&#8217;ve decided against using the service to promote my photography&#8230; or even participate in it in any meaningful way.
