Fly on the Wall

Literally, a fly on the wall.

As many times as I’ve said I’d like to be one, not really.

Paul Hemphill, 1989

We lost another great Southerner yesterday when Paul Hemphill passed away. He was a very nice and unassuming gentleman.
Bo Emerson has a story in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution and William Grimes has another tribute in the New York Times. Also in the Times, I found this review of his Hank Williams book by Garrison Keillor.

Cell Phone Camera

Posted in photography with tags , , , , on July 10, 2009 by louster

The New York Times Lens Blog published their feature with reader submitted cell phone pictures this morning. I was lucky enough to have one included. If you squint and look real hard on the last page, mine is third from the  last row on far left.

I look forward to visiting this site every day. In the new world order where every citizen with a cell phone is a photojournalist, this site manages to carry the torch of traditional photojournalism into the multimedia future. Looking at photographs, and sometimes even video, on their site is always a bright spot in my day.
