We’ve come out of EOS-1D Mark III AF testing retirement just long enough to put the camera’s revised AF calibration and firmware v1.2.5 through its paces, to see if Canon’s changes add up to improved tracking performance.
In all, Josh Haner, a Times photographer and picture editor, found that he could not winnow the selection to any fewer than 406 exceptional Polaroids, all of which are presented here. The gallery itself makes the case. This much creative energy ought to be given the film it needs to thrive.

On Monday May 18, I spent the afternoon and early evening down meeting with the Lightroom team at Adobe’s headquarters in San Jose California. At present there are about 30 individuals directly related to the production of Lightroom, the software that I use to process my images (you can see many of their names on the splash screen for the product when Lightroom loads). There are many additional people beyond the 30 that contribute to the product in some way, shape or form and you can click on full credits to see an even larger list of names.
Davin Ellicson (b. 1978) is working on a long-term project about the transformation of rural life in Eastern Europe as the European Union expands.

I received that tip anonymously several days ago. The name Nikon D300s is not really what we all expected, but everything makes sense (at least to me): same as the D300 plus HD movie mode, built-in mic and stereo audio input, dual SD and CF slots
I was in Kuwait in 1991. The first Gulf war had just finished, but the oil wells were still burning. To get into the country, I had to go to Saudi Arabia and hire a four-wheel drive the colour of the sand – because that was the colour of the US army vehicles. Then, to cross the border, someone told me to find a card in the same sort of colours as a US army ID card and wave it upside-down. Nobody stopped me, and I got through.
These extraordinary images—published here for the first time—show the imperial palaces of Saddam Hussein converted into temporary housing for the U.S military. Vast, self-indulgent halls of columned marble and extravagant chandeliers, surrounded by pools, walls, moats, and, beyond that, empty desert, suddenly look more like college dormitories. Weight sets, flags, partition walls, sofas, basketball hoops, and even posters of bikini’d women have been imported to fill Saddam’s spatial residuum. The effect is oddly decorative, as if someone has simply moved in for a long weekend, unpacking an assortment of mundane possessions.
The shadow of a train runs along the Baghdad Railway, used by the Turkish government to deport thousands of Armenians in 1915. In the window, there is a figure of a traveler, the photographer herself: Kathryn Cook. The image, among the first in her photo essay, “Memory of Trees,” conveys the sense of a personal journey into a historically resonant landscape.
It may be the best photojournalism project we can’t show you: A powerful three-screen audio-visual presentation about the war in Afghanistan. The difficulty is that it requires a theater rigged with three projectors. So far, Tim Hetherington’s “Sleeping Soldiers” triptych has only been screened in one place, the 2009 New York Photo Festival.
