Auburn Street, said he was intrigued by the potential benefits of the Espresso Book Machine—even though most of the books available were published before 1923. “Many of my customers are interested in classic literature,” he said, “They want to read Madame Bovary in French...
...screenwriters - Nicole Eastman, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith - had one sharp idea: to explore the polar-opposite rules of guy comedies and gal comedies.

One of them will be symbolically shot by McCurry - although the famed photographer gave up the format long ago.

He shot his iconic Afghan-girl portrait on Kodachrome and returned 17 years later to photograph the same woman...
