Around The Horn
21 April 2018
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 the Ecuadorean Amazon, the pigeon camera, Mas De Garrigue and resizing images.
- In At Home in the Jungle, Everything Is 'Alive and Has a Spirit', David Gonzalez profiles Misha Vallejo's three-year project documenting a people who live in the Ecuadorean Amazon. "People say we're poor," one local told Vallejo, "but look at how much the jungle provides. We're not poor, we're rich. But it's a different kind of wealth."
- In The Turn-of-the-Century Pigeons That Photographed Earth From Above, Andrea DenHoed presents a few images by Dr. Julius Neubronner, a German apothecary, who had submitted a patent application for a new invention: the pigeon camera.
- Harold Davis spent the Morning at the Mas De Garrigue where he "saw the soft light of morning on the wisteria vine on the tower."
- Brice Lambsom has updated his free Image Resizer for Windows, previously one of Windows XP's PowerToys. On the Mac, we use a combination of Keyboard Maestro and ImageMagick to do it (with unsharp masking on reductions). But you could get away with an AppleScript (see Manipulating Images for more details).
