Lens, a new blog from The New York Times

We recently, finally, launched Lens at The Times, a photo blog meant to set the bar for all the other photo blogs out there. I think its slick and polished and very well done and the quality of work presented there is spectacular. The best part is that it’s not just about Times photographers, its about great photography anywhere by anyone.

“Lens is the photojournalism blog of The New York Times, presenting the finest and most interesting visual and multimedia reporting — photographs, videos and slide shows. A showcase for Times photographers, it also seeks to highlight the best work of other newspapers, magazines and news and picture agencies; in print, in books, in galleries, in museums and on the Web. And it will draw on The Times’s own pictorial archive, numbering in the millions of images and going back to the early 20th century.”
