		<title>Marlboro Marine multimedia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MultimediaShooter alerted me to the particularly impressive &#8220;Marlboro Marine&#8221; three-part series of multimedia pieces by LA Times photographer Luis Sinco.
Stemming from Sinco&#8217;s emblematic photo of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. James Blake Miller in Fallujah in 2004, the three-part series of stills/audio multimedia follows Miller after his return and through his subsequent depression and inability to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A second pair of eyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reuters staff photographer Jerry Lampen has written a good article over at the Reuters Photographers blog telling from firsthand experience the value of the countless drivers, fixers, and in his words &#8220;second pair of eyes&#8221; that are often behind the great images you see but most of the time remain invisible and anonymous.

		<title>Egypt - Recycling as Necessity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first multimedia slideshow produced using Soundslides has just been published. It concerns the mini-industry of street repairmen who fix broken consumer goods in Egypt.

The slideshow of my photos can be seen by clicking on the picture above&#8230; and the written story by AP reporter Anna Johnson, who also read the voiceover, can be read [...]]]></description>

		<title>FileZilla 3 for OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Seems I missed this one&#8230; My preferred FTP client for Windows (and Linux) is now available for Mac OS X. FileZilla is a robust, free, and open-source ftp client (server version also available) that in my experience handles a variety of connections (including satphones) very reliably.
Longtime Mac users will probably hate the un-Mac-like interface, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Naked Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Naked Light claims to be a new image-editing application for Mac OS X promising non-destructive editing, node-based compositing, &#8220;infinite resolution&#8221;, live tools, and pro tools that work in photographer-friendly units like &#8220;stops&#8221;.
Rather than deal with all this jargon, just download the public beta when it becomes available tomorrow and give it a try&#8230; the interface [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canon EOS-1D Mark III autofocus fix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rob Galbraith reports that Canon USA has been advising some EOS-1D Mark III owners that a fix for the autofocus problem may be available in a couple weeks, which if true will surely please both Mark III owners and those who&#8217;ve been holding off on buying. The bad news is that it may involve taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Isatphone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Inmarsat has brought out a new handheld satphone aimed to compete with the popular Thuraya models.
The Isatphone is a dual-mode satellite/GSM phone also capable of data use at 2400bps (satellite) and 9600bps (GSM). With these specs I don&#8217;t see it comparing that favourably to the Thurayas, especially the newer models such as the SG-2520, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audio field recorders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
With many photojournalists now using audio to complement their slideshows, the question arises of what&#8217;s the best way to capture that audio in the field?
A while back the answer would have been a small MiniDisc recorder, but technology has moved on and the most attractive option now seems to be one of the growing range [...]]]></description>

		<title>Walk, Don&#8217;t Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the same vein as Delahaye&#8217;s large format work mentioned in the post below, a piece in Getty&#8217;s online magazine Edit entitled Walk, Don&#8217;t Run argues the advantages of slowing down the photojournalism process - either by the use of non-35mm cameras or simply by extended assignments - with some thoughts from Tom Stoddart and [...]]]></description>
