Around The Horn
19 February 2014
In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention (with more than 140 characters). This time we look at women using cameras to talk about hunger in America, news photographer gear thefts, Google Glass etiquette and real estate photos.
- The PBS Newshour broadcast Breaking stereotypes and sharing stories, women use cameras to take aim at hunger about Hunger Free Colorado's Hunger Through My Lens project, based on the PhotoVoice model.
- "Veteran photographer Ross Cameron was leaving his assignment," InsideBayArea News reports, "when two men with guns ran up to him and robbed him of his two cameras and two lenses." He was working in Oakland, where several other news photographers have experienced the same problem. "Police are offering up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest." And we hope it ends as well as this story.
- Without Emily Post on the payroll, Google asked some long-time Explorers for advice about proper Google Glass etiquette. "Ask for permission" made the list.
- There's a site for Terrible Real Estate Photos -- and it even has an archive. As you may have suspected if you check Craigslist ads where an "exciting work from home opportunity" like this can earn you "$10 TOTAL per home" for exteriors.
