Around The Horn
26 June 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 Pride around the world, the Beat Generation in color, Doris Day, Photoshop blend modes, a Fracture price increase, X-raying daguerreotypes and Adorama's Inspire Expo.
- Alan Taylor presents 41 colorful Photos From a Month of Pride taken at celebrations all over the globe.
- John Leland presents a few images of The Beat Generation in Their Natural Habitats by Burt Glinn. And some of them are in color. Magazines of the era were limited to black-and-white for reproduction but Glinn's widow found a stash of color slides while preparing for a retrospective. The Beat Scene: Photographs by Burt Glinn, which includes the color shots, will be published on July 24.
- Getty Images presents a few rare images of Doris Day: Vintage Hollywood Sunshine. Her film debut was 70 years ago yesterday in Romance on the High Seas and she's still with us at 96.
- Julieanne Kost continues her 3, 2, 1, Photoshop! series with Four Popular Blend Modes to Use When Compositing Images showing when to use Multiply, Screen, Overlay, and Softlight blend modes:
- In an email to customers, Fracture CEO Abhi Lokesh announced the company's first price increases since 2014. They range from 8 to 13 percent, depending on the size, but the company regularly offers discounts to previous customers. "These increases will allow us to invest in some huge opportunities, including a larger facility to house our growing team and factory, as well as researching newer resources and technologies to create the best products possible," he wrote.
- Jennifer Bieman reports Western Study Uses X-Ray Beams to Uncover Lost 19th Century Photos. That's Western University where researchers used micro X-ray scans that take eight hours per image to see through the tarnish of old daguerreotypes.
- Adorama will host its Inspire Expo from Friday, June 29, to Sunday, July 1, from 10:00 a.m. EST to 5:00 p.m. EST at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. The week-long event pays homage to cinematography, photography, music making and social influence, offering specially curated workshops and community platforms that focus on improving technical expertise, important industry discussions and artist-immersed experiences such as photo walks, flying drones, and community art galleries, many of which will be free to attend.
