It won’t be released in the states till March, but Things As They Are: Photojournalism in Context Since 1955 can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com or depending on where you are… it came out in Europe a couple months back (for a big World Press Photo shindig) and it’s available on Amazon UK right now.

How do I know and why do I care? The author – Mary Panzer – is a friend of mine. I think Mary is wonderful and she’s so knowledgable about all manner of history, especially photojournalism. She was the curator of photographs at the Smithsonian for awhile and she’s also a professor at NYU. Oh, and her dog, Rafter, is one of Snick’s bestest friends! :)

Anyway, if you’re into history, photos, or photojournalism, check out this book. And let me know what you think. (Don’t worry; there will be a timely reminder in March for those of you in the US.)

Meanwhile, here’s a picture of Mary and Rafter.

And Snick’s butt? LOL

Thanks for the heads up! I will be checking it out.

That is, indeed, Snick’s puppy butt. I think he’s wider now… that pic is from mid-summer 2004. :)

Awww….cute. Sumi is wide and strong too. She was never a fragile/petite shiba!
