    A saleswoman holds a box of Kodachrome film June 22, 2009 in an electronics shop in lower Manhattan in New York City. According to reports on January 4, 2012, if the Eastman Kodak Co. is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy-protection if it is unable to sell a cache of digital patents.

    Those photojournalists among us who cut our teeth on Kodak film feel a pang of sadness every time Kodak makes the news in recent years. And the file photo from the late Chris Hondros reminds us how many great photographers preferred Kodachrome.

    Reuters reports: Eastman Kodak is preparing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection filing in case it is unable to sell its digital patents to raise capital, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

    The once-iconic photographic film pioneer is in talks with potential lenders to secure about $1 billion in debtor-in possession financing to sustain Kodak through bankruptcy proceedings, the Journal reported citing unidentified sources.

    From governor's son to presidential contender, a look at the life of Republican Mitt Romney.

    The Associated Press reports that Mitt Romney accepted an endorsement from Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, as he pushed for an overwhelming victory in next week's New Hampshire primary.

    McCain, who is still hugely popular in the state, said his endorsement was intended to help Romney "get an overwhelming vote that will catapult this candidate to the White House."

    McCain and Romney haven't always been political allies. McCain beat Romney in the 2008 New Hampshire primary, and there is a history of acrimony between the two. But Romney eventually endorsed McCain in 2008.

    Reuters

    The dead body of a man, wrapped in a blanket, is seen lying near the wall of a private school in the municipality of Ecatepec on the outskirts of Mexico City on Jan. 3, 2012. Neighbors notified the police when they saw the body on the street, according to local media.

    The body was found outside a primary school named after William Shakespeare on the northern outskirts of the Mexican capital.

    According to a report in El Sol de Toluca, the victim, who had yet to be identified, had gunshot wounds to his head and body. Police sources said that the killers had left a message signed La Familia. The body was taken to the Justice Center in San Cristobal for investigation.

    Reuters reports that the drug violence that has raged across Mexico is creeping into its capital city, which had been seen as an oasis of relative peace for several years. Police reported more than 300 gangland killings in the greater Mexico City area in 2011.

    La Familia, a bloodthirsty cartel that started in the central state of Michoacan, is now said to be a major player in the capital, alongside the widely-feared Zetas and a criminal cell called Mano con Ojos - or Hand With Eyes. Read more.

  • California snow survey shows water content at 19 percent

    Reporters and photographers await Frank Gehrke, chief of snow surveys for the Department of Water Resources, left, as carries a snow sample survey pole to began the first snow survey of the new year at the Phillips Station near Echo Summit Calif., Jan. 3, 2012. After one of the driest Decembers in recent years the survey showed the snow pack to to be only one-seventh of an inch in depth, the lowest ever recorded at this site for this time of year.

    This looks a bit like a publicity stunt by the California Department of Water Resources, but I guess they have to go through the motions even when there is nothing to measure.

    Western Farm Press reports:  Despite the low early readings, the snowpack and its water content can be expected to increase through the winter months to April 1, when melting snow begins flowing into streams and reservoirs.

    “Thanks to good reservoir storage left over from last winter’s storms, we anticipate an adequate water supply next summer,” said DWR Director Mark Cowin. “Our initial estimate is that we’ll be able to deliver 60 percent of the slightly more than 4 million acre-feet of water requested from the State Water Project, and we hope to increase the percentage as winter storms develop.”

  • Venezuelans shop for food, which costs 27% more than it did a year ago

    Fernando Llano / AP

    In this photo taken on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011, customers shop in Guaicaipuro food market in Caracas, Venezuela. President Hugo Chavez's government is likely to spend heavily in 2012 to rev up the economy during his re-election bid, and that could worsen one of Venezuela's biggest problems: 27-percent annual inflation that is already close to the highest in the world. Polls consistently show that Venezuelans see inflation as one of the country's biggest problems after violent crime. Poor Venezuelans, who traditionally have been key supporters of Chavez, are particularly hard-hit by rising food prices, which according to the Central Bank, increased by more than 35 percent last year.

    Karen Kloke took this photo of Idaho's Lower Mesa Falls in August 2011 while touring the Yellowstone area during a weeklong trip.

    Kloke and her friends decided to take a day trip to Craters of the Moon National Park in Idaho. On the way back to west Yellowstone, the group took the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway through the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Idaho.

    "We really didn't know what to expect but the falls were phenomenal," Kloke, who lives in Rochester, Minn., told TODAY.com.

    Kloke and her friends spent much of the day hiking around the lower and upper falls and didn't encounter other visitors. "When spending time in the Yellowstone area," she said, "I highly recommend taking this side trip."

    Kloke doesn't consider herself a professional photographer; rather, she just enjoys taking photos.

    "Nature has provided us with spectacular views and vistas," she said, "and I'm fortunate enough to capture some of that in pictures."
