Zoom

I don't know if many of you know who Errol Morris is (I didn't) but he has an excellent, if sporadic, blog at the New York Times called Zoom. I first found it when he did a three-part piece on altered photos from the Crimean War just over a year ago, which is really a fantastic piece of writing about why people do the things they do, ultimately.

He has a recent posting called Cartesian Blogging Pt. 3, which I've only skimmed through, but it also seems to be about image manipulation, including painting, photoshop (and older techniques to achieve the same) etc. I plan to read it later this weekend (his posts are pretty long), and I'd recommend it for anyone else interested in this sort of thing (i.e. anyone on this blog!)
