		<title>Street Photography&#8217;s Killing Me Softly, With Its Song (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January, I asked David Yee to send me this photo of his, which I&#8217;d seen and loved and immediately wanted to write about.  I knew it was a kind of skeleton key that could illuminate something that had been bothering me - as both photographer, and writer.  It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blurb Photobook Contest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the &#8220;judging a book by its cover&#8221; department, I&#8217;d be willing to bet that one of these 30 titles will win $20,000 in the Blurb Photobook Contest.  I picked less than 1 out 50 entries for this sample.  (And if your entry isn&#8217;t listed below, it&#8217;s because I overlooked its awesomeness, naturally.)

		<title>How Long&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;until a contemporary large format photographer revisits locations of suicide bombings to show us street scenes that have rebounded from carnage and devastation?

In other news, Luc Sante sees Rembrandt tones in a &#8220;make this digital picture look like black-and-white film&#8221; Photoshop filter.  Horsesthink on printing.  And via horsesthink, cheers to Sze Tsun Leong [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fave Corner, Now Mapped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Tour de France may be one positive-dope-test-shy of a complete sham, but the geography&#8217;s still beyond par.

		<title>John Lewis, Taylor Branch, Politics, and Prose vs. Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are hundreds of photographs from March 7th, 1965, and one of the most memorable is this by James &#8220;Spider&#8221; Martin, which shows Alabama police preparing to attack the non-violent civil rights marchers (led by John Lewis and Hosea Williams) who&#8217;d just crossed the Edmund-Pettus bridge, in Selma.
