Yep, me too! Can’t get enough of that stuff. I have Parks’ book To Smile in
Autumn—love it! And timely indeed. The movie Selma is out too, which has
received some good reviews.

I have the Life book entitled Our Century in Pictures—are you speaking of
this one or a different one?
Actually, that could be a fun PDML project, that is, people could use slides
from PowerPoint or Keynote, resize them to the double spread size of, say, Life
Magazine, layout the photo essay, then export each slide as a JPEG—then post
as usual. Folks could include originally written text if they wanted, or not.
Could be a way to help sharpen our photo essay skills. Just a thought.
