[PHOTO] Five links about photography: seeing, selfies, Village Voice, Flickr and archives

[rfmcdonald]

• Van Waffle wrote late last year about the ways we see with and without cameras.


• This article in The Atlantic noting how iPhone selfies do not actually accurately represent one's face is disturbing in a few ways.


• CityLab noted the importance of the shuttered Village Voice in promoting photojournalism in New York City.


• Apparently hundreds of people have died around the world as a result of misadventures while taking selfies, VICE reported.


• This Slate article is entirely right in noting, with Flickr's conversion to a paid model and the mass deletion of photos of non-paying users, that counting on the online world to back up photos (or other data) is a mistake.
