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 Japanese-American internment, a tent city, Photomyne, syncing in Lightroom and new Sigma Art lenses.
- In A Nation's Shame: Japanese-American Internment in WWII, Getty Images revisits the internment of Japanese-Americans, a fate that befell German-Americans and Italian-Americans as well. The Officers' Club Museum at the Presidio in San Francisco is currently exhibiting Exclusion on the same topic, which asks, "And what, as a nation, have we learned that can help us address the present-day issues of immigration, racism and mass incarceration?"
- Alan Taylor presents images of A Tent City for Detained Children in Texas taken clandestinely by Reuter photographer Mike Blake. Only official photographs of the detention camps have been released and reporters have only been allowed on guided tours, forbidden to photograph what they see.
- The free Photomyne is an AI-based Android and iOS photo scanning app that makes it possible to scan multiple printed photos in a single shot:
- Julieanne Kost provides the details (concisely) on Syncing Profiles and Presets From Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC Mobile, now possible with today's updates.
- Sigma is now shipping five of its Art prime lenses for the Sony E-mount: the Sigma 20mm f1.4 DG HSM ($899), Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM ($849), Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM ($899), Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG HSM ($949) and Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG HSM ($1,199).
