Fearless to the end: Margaret Moth
The longtime CNN photojournalist dies of cancer at 59. Moth sought out, even demanded, assignments in conflict zones. She barely survived being shot in the face in Sarajevo in 1992, only to go back as soon as she was physically able. The multiple reconstructive surgeries that followed, as well as the hepatitis C she contracted from a consequent blood transfusion, were mere obstacles she moved around.

Kodak Film Number to Film Type Cross Reference Table — Tom Philo Photography
What those numbers or letters along the side of the film mean. I take photographs using all types of film. And when when I turn in a mixed collection of film types for processing unless I take great care in marking the film packages when I get them back from the processor what type of film is in which package is unknown. This can be a problem when you need to know what type of film was used to do a correct print. To solve this problem I went to Kodak's web site and tried to find out what what the number printed on the film meant. I searched their site and found only three (single) references. So then I wrote Kodak an e-mail from their site asking them if there was a film cross reference table on their web site. They answered back "no" but sent me four sheets (8 pages) showing the film cross-references. The data sheets were dated May 1993. I then scanned them in saving it as text using my HP scanner.

Stephen Szoradi - MOCP
In his Full Circle series, Stephen Szoradi departs from the linear progression of his traditional documentary-style portraits of steel workers, in an attempt to capture the cyclical nature of his current subject, the City of Chicago water system. Silver-gelatin prints meditate on the stages of refinement that create a product and later restore it to be used again. The pictures themselves build in complexity and then seem to break down, moving from the sparseness of a single drain in an unfinished concrete room to a labyrinth of sharply angled waterways. Diptych and triptych formats reinforce themes of repetition and inter-connectedness, sometimes by creating a union from multiple parts or emphasizing the structural similarity between panels, sometimes by playing with the notion of sequence and progression inherent in adjacent frames while nonetheless showing a single time and place.
