Lens, the New York Times' visual journalism blog, looks nice
Clean design that highlights the photos well. I like the forward/backward hinting and the full screen mode in particular.

Flickr reverse-geocoded a bunch of photos to create a bunch of GIS-like shape files
This is ridiculous cool - using people's photos, they've created freely available shape files that works from the neighborhood level to the continent.

Sell your Flickr photos to Getty
Flickr and Getty formalize a partnership, which is mostly a good thing, but I suspect that it will only increase the amount of already insufferable gamesmanship happening on the site.

Polaroid will stop making instant film after 2009
Says they are willing to license the technology to anyone who wants to take up the mantle. Not terribly surprising considering that they've been scaling down for years, but sad nonetheless.

OJR has a nice article on how people navigate slideshows, using the WashPost's player

Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir, an incredibly talented and well-loved Flickr user, found that her copyrighted photos were being sold, she bitched about it on Flickr, they deleted her post and comments and threatened to delete her account.

Seems a bit sensationalist, but certainly worth watching. Appears to be mostly camera phone shots of celebs, so, huzzah to our future CJ overlords. Kill me now.
