The Library of Congress has a Flickr account!
I was browsing through antique photos on Flickr and came across this.
This might be old news for some, but it's new to me. And blows me away a bit. I was pleasantly surprised to find this.
Any lover of historic or photojournalistic images should love this gallery / photostream. Right now, there are over 3,700 quality, high resolution scans from the original negatives, positives, plates, and prints in the gallery. More are consistently added about once a week.

Small Artifacts Lighting Setup
Here is the lighting setup I've been using to photograph the smaller artifacts I've documented.
Basically, I've built a light box attached to a light table. But since this is of my doing, there's not much basic about it, and while it gets needlessly complicated, it has proven itself to be quite effective.

BioCom Photojournalism assignment: Friday Night Football
Football's not my thing, but i'm required to shoot Friday night high-school football for my photojournalism class.
The point of the assignment is to get capture your subject anyway you can.
It's dark, your subject is far away, and moving fast. Max your flash-sync and ISO to stop action.
With Friday night football grainy, ugly, direct-flash images are ok as long as you've captured the action, the emotion, and especially the ball...
