Lens is the new photojournalism blog of The New York Times, presenting visual and multimedia reporting — photographs, videos and slide shows. A showcase for Times photographers, it will draw on The Times' own pictorial archive, numbering in the millions of images and going back to the early 20th century. Features in their first week include:
Essay: Slow Photography in an Instantaneous Age, about what it means to shoot on large-format film in the digital age;
Showcase: A Prom Divided, a multimedia feature about a segregated prom in 2009 south-central Georgia.

The Polaroid photographic archive is under threat The archivists are trying to sell the collection together, but as always seems to happen in these cases, it looks like it might be separated. If buildings can be listed, why can't collections like this, which documents six decades of social and artistic history, be protected as well?
