• History:
  • The Very Last Roll of Kodachrome Film Ever Made Was Used to Capture NYC, at the hands of the renowned Steve McCurry. [Via] (“If I ever become CEO of Kodak,” says Mark Rosenberg, “I’ll manufacture one more roll of Kodachrome, just to drive Steve McCurry nuts.”)
  • We got your Woodpecker right here, da: Photography of giant Cold War Russian radio tech. [Via]
• Jeffrey Friedl’s cool rollover shows the visual effects of Lightroom’s JPEG export settings.
• Stock:
  • Just what’s promised: AwkwardStockPhotos.com [Via]
  • Similarly great: StockDBags.tumblr.com (Love the Kuato/abs reference!) [Via]
• Man, having grown up in Illinois, I love this photo–”Summer Storm, Chicago” by Ken Tanaka.
