is dedicated to exploring and discussing the artistic and social implications
of digital and traditional photography. Components include exhibits, an
online magazine, forums in Spanish and English, and even a web-based screen
calibration center. Pedro Meyer is the author of an excellent CD-ROM called
Truths and Fictions: a Journey from Documentary to Digital Photography,
listed in the Phototips bookstore.
- California Museum of Photography - UC
Riverside - Interesting current exhibits, and "webworks",
web-only exhibits of photos and text.

Getty collection with teaching suggestions. No digital photos per se
but there are examples of photographers such as Sandy Skoglund who work
with staged content.
- Digital
Photography at Lincoln High: A Research Report - Unfortunately this
seems to be more an ad for the CD-ROM of the same title. However, there
might be some useful ideas here.

that with layers and the Floppy Lens filter, above.
