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 Roberto Gramostini, proposed copyright rules, what photo editors want and the Xenon Flash Shell.
- Roberto Gramostini's 'Unknowns' began in 2010 as a series of images of strangers encountered at random whose faces are not visible.
- In The U.S. Copyright Office Proposes New Rules for Registering Photographs, Photo Attorney Carolyn Wright summarizes three notices of proposed rulemaking affecting photographers, all of which are now open for comment (by you).
- In What Photo Editors Want: Tips for Editorial Photographers, Jenny Carless talks to Kathryne Hall of Glamour, Elizabeth Jaime of Bon Appétit and Mark Murrmann of Mother Jones to find out what they're looking for in a photographer.
- The $74.95 Xenon Flash Shell works with almost all iPhones and iPads via Bluetooth to provide up to 1000x brighter flash than the built-in LED. With the iOS version shipping in January, an Android-compatible version is expected in the first quarter of 2017.
More to come! Meanwhile, please support our efforts...
