New Photojournalism Blog 'Lens' by the New York Times

The New York Times has a new photojournalism blog titled Lens:

The New York Times introduces Lens, a photojournalism blog that intends to present some of the most interesting visual and multimedia reporting: in photographs, videos, audio slide shows and any other medium that fits -- our format.

I imagine others have remarked about the web's effect on photography, but this seems to be another example of a shift in emphases as a result of the web and really lives up to the promise of hypermedia.

The article titled "On Assignment: A Photo Op, More Like a Photo Hop," which features a video of a photographer's experience of the Oval Office, is an especially good example of the worlds that the Internet in general and this blog in particular can allow us to enter.
