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 collection photos of the National Museum of Brazil, the fire at the museum, John Moore's immigration photos, McNally shooting aliens, Story at Yankee stadium, canvas size tricks, 10 principles and Zach Gross.
- Louise Queiroga reports Museology Students From Unirio Gather Photos of the National Museum to Preserve Their Memory. "It started as an idea of putting our own photos together, because that was all that was left for us," student Luana Santos said of the effort to document the collection of the fire-ravaged museum. "We began to share among ourselves and among friends of friends and took on a gigantic proportion."
- Alan Taylor provides 28 photos of The Fire and Its Aftermath at the National Museum of Brazil.
- In Photographs That Humanize the Immigration Debate, James Estrin interviews photojournalist John Moore (who we recently showcased in a Saturday matinee). "Oftentimes," Moore says, "these things are discussed in statistical terms, which can be quite dry and I've always tried to put a human face on this."
- Joe McNally was Shooting Aliens With the Nikon Z 7! "The star of the show was definitely the pre-production Z 7 camera," he says. "I adapted almost immediately to the EVF -- so much information at my fingertips, literally. Focus grab was certain and fast." He used the Z System 24-70mm f4 and the FTZ adapter coupled to a 19mm Perspective Control Nikkor.
- Derrick Story spent An Analog Afternoon at Yankee Stadium getting photos of strangers (after asking permission) wit his Nikon FG and Series E 50mm f1.8 pancake lens on Fujicolor 200 film. A beer is included with the $15 Pinstrip Pass to the stadium but everybody has to show their ID to be served.
- Julieanne Kost continues her 3, 2, 1, Photoshop! series with Five Ways to Change the Canvas Size in Photoshop CC.
- In Artist's Statement, 2018 Edition, Ming Thein lists 10 principles he tries to balance in his photography. "There is definitely a certain underlying tension between them and an art to balancing them (sometimes very much intangible and difficult to explain) in a way that creates an image I consider 'mine' and that could not have been made by anybody else," he notes.
- Heidi Volpe interviews photographer Zach Gross about his shoot of double exposure portraits for Mother Jones.
