Around The Horn

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. This time we look at Eastern Ghouta, National Geographic, the Mississippi Delta, George Digalakis, navigating Photoshop documents, Imatag and a Texas barbecue.
- In The Siege of Eastern Ghouta and Seven Years of War in Syria, Alan Taylor presents 36 images of the Syrian government's siege outside the capital of Damascus which has claimed over a thousand lives in recent weeks.
- In For Decades, Our Coverage Was Racist To Rise Above Our Past, We Must Acknowledge It, National Geographic's first woman and first Jewish editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg shares some "appalling stories from the magazine's past." She enlisted John Edwin Mason, who specializes in the history of photography, to dive into the magazine's archives.
- In Neither Black Nor White in the Mississippi Delta, James Estrin looks at the work of Andrew Kung and Emanuel Hahn, who photographed and interviewed a dozen Mississippians of Chinese descent in the Delta.
- In From Physician to Photographer, Alyssa Coppelman profiles George Digalakis, who makes "dreamy black-and-white pictures that are both naturalistic and vaguely surreal."
- Julieanne Kost continues her 3, 2, 1, Photoshop! series with Three Ways to Help Navigate Documents:
- Paul Melcher has 10 Questions to a Founder: Imatag. CEO Mathieu Desoubeaux tells him, "The number one issue facing photos today is the complete lack of persistent attribution." Imatag solves this problem by ensuring the source of an image and its original metadata are always identifiable.
- Kirk Tuck takes One Camera, One Lens to a Texas barbecue. That would be ribs. Oh, and a Panasonic G85 with the Sigma 30mm f1.4 Art lens. Delicious images.
