Founded by The New York Times senior staff photographer James Estrin, the Times's Lens Blog is dedicated to the newspaper's "photography, video, and visual journalism." Here, visitors will find powerful photographs and documentary footage about a wide variety of subjects from around the world. More than just a collection of images, this blog is designed to add context to photography and photojournalism. For example, one recent entry features photographs recently taken by multimedia artist Larry Towell of individuals at Standing Rock, North Dakota accompanied by an essay by Estrin about Towell's work. Another recent entry, authored by the Times's David Gonzales, discusses the work of Andrew Lichtenstein, whose work is featured in the upcoming book Marked, Unmarked, Remembered: A Geography of American Memory. Another highlight of this blog is The Week in Pictures slideshow of photos featured in The New York Times each week, accompanied by links to related news stories.
