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 Brammer v. Violent Hues, Kosuke Okahara, Omar Robles, strobe fire hazard, the SanDisk Extreme SSD and Adobe CC pricing.
- In Images on the Internet Now 'Fair Use'?, Greenberg and Reznicki analyze the case of photographer Russell Brammer v.

- In Almost Paradise, Japanese photographer Kosuke Okahara relates his experience following immigrants from Central and South America on their way to the U.S.
- In the second Back to the U.S. episode of Adorama's Through the Lens series, former mime Omar Robles visits Puerto Rico to photograph dancers:
- In Lighting a Fire With a Strobe?, Jim Kasson tries to "fire a flash at full-power and close range at a piece of paper with black text on it" to see if the text will burn, producing smoke.
