The eastern sky had more going on at sunset than the western sky did. Some days are like that.

Mighty and Ominous Satellite Images of the Human Condition
These images are amazing and beautiful and terrifying.
The Daily Overview presents refugee camps, environmental horror, Florida housing projects, and fields of lovely Dutch tulips.

Jennie Smith on porch
Source: Image Collections Online – “Jennie Smith on porch”
Part of my job (a too small part, but I’m a little biased) involves working on adding metadata to the Frank Hohenberger photo collection. I have lamented and complained and whined that there is not a good way to blog about these images, because some of them are quite wonderful. But it just occurred to me that the “press this” bookmarklet might be the perfect solution.
So, I give you one of the first images I cataloged: Jennie Smith sitting on her porch in Barbourville, Kentucky, smoking a corncob pipe, taken by Hohenberger in 1933. I love everything about this photo.
