Stumbled upon this 11 minutes of awesomeness from 1972. The SX-70 truly is a thing of beauty. I absolutely *love* my SX-70 sonar, it’s built like a beautiful and very well designed brick. Apparently this lil infomercial was created by Charles and Ray Eames who also created my dream chair. someday…someday. 
I originally stumbled upon this mind-numbingly amazing shot (links to high rez) by photographer Andrew Cutraro at a Calumet photo exhibit here in NYC. Ever wonder what a thousand-yard stare looked like? Well then, there you have it. View Andrew’s entire U.S.M.C series here (viewer warning – war is hell) or, alternately, you can view his entire portfolio here.
I’ve been trying to find this video again for a while now. It’s a great current.tv “pod” about photojournalist Dan Eldon. The piece pretty much speaks for itself, so i’ll let it do just that. Be forewarned as the video contains some rather graphic images of wartime and famine.
More of Dan Eldon’s amazingly moving photos can be found here.
If you want to learn more about Dan I’d recommend these two books:
The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon
and Dan Eldon: The Art of Life. I picked up the later the other day and so far it’s a great read.
