There is a wonderful blog written by Errol Morris with the title "Photography as a weapon" at

http://morris.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/11/photography-as-a-weapon/

I think this might require a free registration to read since it is the NY Times (you have to give them your email address and choose a password is all, I think), but I think you might find it is worth the effort. Morris is an Academy-award winning documentary film-maker and in this blog he intersperses his own views with some very interesting interviews. A good read IMHO.

Hi:

Does anyone have some good suggestions for medium format film (negative) usb scanners?

I'll use either a mac or linux machine, but the linux machine is more convenient. It seems the commercial program vuescan www.hamrick.com will interface with most scanners. I don't object to this but would prefer an open source interface. So, if you know of a good medium format film scanner scanner, great, since vuescan probably works with it, but if you know of one that definitely works with linux that's even better.

TIA, David
