If you haven’t heard already: Kodak discontinued making B&W photopaper.

Ending a century-old tradition, Eastman Kodak Co. will soon stop making black-and-white photographic paper, a niche product for fine-art photographers and hobbyists that is rapidly being supplanted by digital-imaging systems.

Kodak said Wednesday it will discontinue production of the paper, specially designed for black-and-white film, at the end of this year. But the world's biggest film manufacturer will continue to make black-and-white film and chemicals for processing.

So I guess I made that transition to digital none to soon.

This is Saint John City Market. Virtually no post-processing except tiny bit of sharpening.

I am currently reading a very neat book Visual Anthropology: Photography as a Research Method by John Collier, Jr. I have an older, used edition. It’s a really interesting read, especially for photojournalists. It expands nicely on an essay that Susan wrote on photographing strangers.

P.S. Wonderful people behind The Expressions engine, please, please, please build some sort of blog entry search engine.

P.P.S. On the second thought - don’t! If there were a search engine available, I would not have browsed through Susan’s wonderful archives :-))
