I should see if Central Camera has any. Some of the NYT's recent photos, like the one on the aged inmate, seem rather outside the traditional bounds of photojournalistic practice, as you note, but I don't read it enough to know if this is a trend or a handful of exceptions. EDIT: The photographer was <a href="http://www.damonwinter.com">Damon Winter</a>. It looks like he works in digital almost exclusively. I say almost because some of the travel photos from his site look like they come from a Holga (though that can be faked). Here's a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/23/realestate/23habi.html?ex=1348200000&en=b98153e8a6422bf8&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss">feature </a> he shot on Global Cities author Saskia Sassen and her husband's house in New York.

Still, it is kind of weird to see that effect used in photojournalism.
