Photography- Yesterday & Today

Today even tho I am in the midst of much of
my own photographic work, that I am compelled
to make note of current events in the
photographic world...
..and the part photography is playing.

1st- I would like to Draw attention to the passing
of an icon that got generations making images
because of it's existence and a song in Tribute
to it... namely Kodachrome. Many photographers,
me included, grew up with this film/song as our
montra and spurred us on to persue our Passion.
Knowing that now, even tho digital has NOT
surpassed the clarity of film quite yet...
this digital age has claimed yet another victim.
Momma, they took our Kodachrome away...Today.
But I think I still have some in my freezer ;-)

On the flip side, photography and the proliferation
of small digital cameras is performing an
Important Service to the people's of Iran in
getting their word out to the World... and yes
"This revolution will NOT be televised." It is
being covered on Twitter and YOUTUBE via
friends of Freedom around the world...then
re-reported on TV and blogs.
This definitely IS a 21st Century Revolution.
I hope the People of Iran obtain the Justice and
Freedom to have their vote count they
are putting their lives on the line to be heard
for and so richly deserve.

Happy beginning of Summer folks.
