I also found a sneak peek preview of the exhibit (which officially opens tomorrow for Series One), posted by Ladye Jane Vickers, the curator at Raleigh City Museum.  Check it out!

Trust me, I love technology, but this week I have really stopped to think about what kind of impact it is making on our society.  While one part of me embraces our forward thinking and evolution, another part wrestles with the notion that we are setting ourselves up to be run by machine.  Where does that leave us?  How many jobs will be lost to technology in the future?  I think it is time to look past the actions of our Presidents, past and present, and start analyzing our own actions and responsibility on the evolution of our future.

So, if you have made it past my soapbox spill, here is a truly great look at the last days of the Rocky Mountain News.

Final Edition

bigpicture

The Big Picture is a photo blog for the Boston Globe/boston.com, entries are posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by Alan Taylor. Inspired by publications like Life Magazine (of old), National Geographic, and online experiences like MSNBC.com’s Picture Stories galleries and Brian Storm’s MediaStorm, The Big Picture is intended to highlight high-quality, amazing imagery – with a focus on current events, lesser-known stories and, well, just about anything that comes across the wire that looks really interesting.

The exhibit, Portraits of Raleigh: Images of a City and Her People, was originally scheduled to have a normal run but has now been expanded to 6 months, with one group of 20 photos being displayed for 3 months, and a different group of 20 on display for the second 3 months.  The first exhibition will open on March 6th, and the second will open on June 5th.
