...Shot over five years with a large-format camera, Soth's work depicts a journey that progresses from the snow-covered northern reaches of the Mississippi to the squalor of the Delta. But Sleeping by the Mississippi is less about the river than the spirit of wandering. This is classic American road-trip photography that captures the tender frailties of ordinary people living ordinary lives. Selections from the exhibition will move to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts next March, joining some of Soth's other recent work. Wherever you can see them, his photos are not to be missed...

This metaphorical expedition is an amazing wonder of modern technology and creativity, but for certain noteworthy films and filmmakers the journey is much more than metaphor...

Sites reported that three other injured Iraqis may also have been shot in the mosque that day. The corpses of four Iraqis have been shipped to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for autopsies, and the Marine shooter in the video, who has not been identified, has been removed from the battlefield. Marines in Fallujah have launched an investigation into the shooting...
