R.I.P., Kodachrome (1935-2009)
You—or your parents, or their storage unit—probably have albums full of Kodachrome memories, but Kodak has arranged its own online slide show of "great Kodachrome moments" (best viewed with the aforementioned anthem playing, preferably on a record player). They include Steve McCurry's famed Afghan girl photo that ran on the cover of a 1985 issue of National Geographic. McCurry will shoot one of the last rolls of Kodachrome, and his photos will be donated to the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, New York. Meanwhile, there's still time to stockpile Kodachrome, but you better act fast. Kodak estimates that current supplies will run out by early this fall at the current sales pace.

Portraits of the President as a Young Man
He squats in the corner, over a slab of grating, looking down his nose through squinted eyes and pointing his chin at the camera. Sassy. The college freshman wears a Panama hat and dangles a cigarette, while the lightswitch above him gives a diagonal zip to the composition. That's "Barry" Obama as captured by his Occidental College classmate Lisa Jack in 1980. Tomorrow, Jack's photos, along with a blow-up of her original contact sheet, go on view in "Barack Obama: The Freshman," an exhibition at the M+B Gallery in West Hollywood. Prices will start at $1,000 to $4,500 for the photographic prints, each available in limited editions of 230. "I'm the 49-year-old woman who wanted to be a photographer but didn't follow through," Jack told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm the Susan Boyle of the photography world." Jack, who works as a psychology professor and therapist, kept her photos out of circulation until Obama was elected, allowing them to be published only in the pages of Time. Now, on the eve of the exhibition, she's dreaming big. According to the LAT, Jack has invited Obama, who is happens to be visiting Los Angeles today, to check out the show. She's also hoping that Shepard Fairey will "do his artfully iconic thing with her 'Freshman' images." Tuesday May 19, 2009
Helen Levitt Photos Promised to Met
Today the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its renovated American Wing (First Lady Michelle Obama performed the ribbon-cutting honors) and tomorrow throws open the doors to its Francis Bacon retrospective, but Previously on UnBeige: NYT Launches Photojournalism Blog
Photojournalism is the focus of Lens, the newest addition to The New York Times' gaggle of blogs. "Lens will be a showcase for the work of Times photographers, but it will also highlight the best images from other newspapers, magazines, news organizations and picture agencies, and from around the Web," wrote David W. Dunlap in a post introducing the blog. Also look for Lens to highlight photography books, exhibitions, and work from the Times' vast pictorial archive while building a community of readers (or viewers, as the case may be) that will occasionally be tapped to submit their own photos. The fun starts with Fred R. Conrad's ode to slow photography, which includes his Hiroshi Sugimoto-flavored black-and-white shot of an old-school Jersey City movie theater, and Stephen Crowley on the strange ritual that is a White House photo op. Yesterday, Todd Heisler posted a series of photos that all contained his four-legged nemesis: plastic chairs. "They come in different colors but they are all variations of the same design," writes Heisler. "Not unlike the humans who rest upon them." Friday May 15, 2009
