Kodak have just ditched several films with no advance warning and no replacements:
Portra 100UC and Portra 400UC have been discontinued in medium format, but are still available in 35mm. I never liked 100UC, but I really dug 400UC 120 in a Holga.
Ektachrome 160T (EPT) and Ektachrome 320T (EPJ) have been discontinued completely.
Awesome.
What the Duck #174: right on.
Most are funny, several are NSFW, and of course a few are just stupid. My favourite is the guy in the brown suit with the wide stance. Check them out at NikonKit.

Polaroid Week Spring 2007 is in progress!
You wanna play? Post a Polaroid a day.
March 12 – March 16.
Five days. Five polaroids. (Or more, if you’re so inspired.)
Starting on Monday March 12. So, dust off your SX70, 600 or Polaroid weapon of choice this week and start shooting!
Or dig out old squares you’ve found, stolen, or have had laying around since high school and scan scan scan.
Here’s our only request: please post photos you haven’t posted on Flickr before. Meaning, give us something new — don’t contribute a Polaroid to this group that you already posted last May. That’s just plain lazy.
C’mon. Play with us. You know you want to.
Love,
You can participate here on Flickr and here on fotolog!

I’ve been watching a petition to prevent the UK government from requiring people to have a photographer ID card to photograph in public make the rounds for a bit, and am happy to discover that the concerns it aims to address appear to be unfounded:
A photographer’s Downing Street petition against ‘proposed restrictions’ on rights to take pictures in public has confused many into wrongly believing that the government is planning such a move. It seems that the petition was largely fuelled by a photo enthusiast’s idea to launch a self-styled ID Card and has nothing to do with future government policy whatsoever.

Damn it! Another one!
