I promised a co-worker that I would post a link to the Canon EOS 50D. Well, here it is: http://www.50dreview.com

The Canon EOS 50D looks like a nice camera, but I haven’t had my hands on one yet. The screen looks wonderful. I’m interested in playing with the face detection.

I just found out about the St. Louis Art Museum’s Photography on the Street exhibit

If I get a break in my schedule, I think I’m going to have to head down there. Their web site says “Photography on the Street provides examples by the American and European photographers Dorothea Lange, Morris Engel, Weegee (Arthur Felig), Robert Frank, Robert Doisneau, Roger Mayne, Saul Leiter, Duane Michaels and Helen Levitt.”

Sounds like great fun.

I’m a film guy, but wet plate collodion photography is very interesting. Here are a a couple videos by Quinn Jacobson.

Here are more of his videos. Quinn Jacobson on YouTube. It looks like he’s producing a DVD about this. I might have to buy it. I have a great appreciation for anyone who keeps older processes alive in the face of expediency.
