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 Barbara Baker Burrows, the Nikon D700, Leica M mount lenses on the X1D and Joel Meyerowitz in five images.
- In Remembering Picture Editor Barbara Baker Burrows, Lily Rothman writes, "Burrows once said she pinched herself sometimes, because working at Life felt like a dream. But that extended 'family' knew that couldn't be the case: her magic worked because there was, at its heart, something very real."
- Kirk Tuck Bought Another Nikon Classic for pennies on the dollar. This time a full-frame D700. He's not alone in bonding with old gear, as the comments show.
- Ming Thein has been experimenting with Leica M Mount Lenses on the X1D. The combination addresses two issues: "firstly, the desire for something that operates in the way you want (i.e. transparently) and that makes you want to shoot with it; and secondly, the small/light question."
- In Joel Meyerowitz's Career Is a Minihistory of Photography, Teju Cole examines five of Meyerowitz's images covering the breadth of the photographer's career and the history of photography as well.
