The Shah brothers, Anup and Manoj, both exceptional photographers based in East Africa have a new website that you must check out. I absolutely love their work. Now to buy a print from them … ahhhh

Chai anyone? Bangladeshi photographer Ihtisham Kabir sent in a link to his series of portraits of tea plantation workers in Chaklapunji.

Too busy to read books? What a shame. But the web comes to your rescue with Daily Lit where you can get 5-minute morsels from a variety of books.

I am going to bookmark and use it.

Picture The Cure and PhotoCamp are two products of Canada that I hope can trickle down to the US and beyond.
