The British Journal of Photography among many others have confirmed that Fujifilm will be cutting or curtailing three film stocks: Neopan 400 in 120 (medium format), Superia Reala in 35mm and Pro 160S in 35mm.

I only shot Reala for the first time in my Olympic street series and am a bit sad that I don't get a chance to try some more. Reala isn't to be confused with regular Superia which is their consumer 35mm film.

Apparently, lining up for hours to get into pavilions does get you something after all. A friend of mine asked if I got one of these glorious mugs that they were giving out at the Canon pavilion at the Olympics.

First of all, I didn't even know there was a Canon pavilion. ;(

I guess you can't really know about the ground beneath you for sure but what an unfortunate way to die.

Read the Daily Mail: Climber who died after falling 1,500ft into Mount St. Helens volcano was posing for photo when he fell.

He had reached the summit of Mount St. Helens with his friend Scott Salkovichs after a four-hour climb. Mr Bohlig took off his backpack and some clothing, before deciding to pose for pictures.

Mr Salkovichs told KGW television that his friend handed his camera to another hiker and was backing towards the edge when the snow gave way and he fell.

With all the doom and gloom in the film photography these days it's a wonderful surprise that Kodak continues to produce new products. In this case, they have decided to cut 4x5 and 8x10 sheets of the lovely Ektar 100.

Freedom of information requests have resulted in the release of a gallery of aerial photographs of Ground Zero in Manhattan showing the Twin Towers engulfed in smoke and then the moments during and after their collapse on September 11th. The photographs, taken by police helicopters, were the only ones taken from the air after the skies were ordered clear after the attacks.
