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 Lu Guang, Ming Thein, Icelandic glaciers, a mystery, Nikon Z 6/7 gotchas and fixes, stuck lens adapters, Andrea Bruce, a photo assistant and a dictation solution.
- In A Photographer Goes Missing in China, Robert Pledge reviews the work of his friend of 15 years and wonders why "the world has had no idea where Lu Guang is."
- In Vignettes of Melancholy and Longing, Ming Thein collect images taken on the road over "a long, long period of time."
- In Documenting the Disappearing Glaciers of Iceland, Jonathan Blaustein talks to Ragnar Axelsson about his new publishing project and the massive ice caps that cover more than 10 percent of his home country, Iceland.
- Harold Davis provides a couple of Abstracts and a Photographic Mystery for you to solve. Very little post processing was involved, he hints.
- Jim Kasson catalogs Nikon Z 6/7 Gotchas and Fixes. Every fix has its tradeoff, so setting up toggles is the real trick.
- In Beware Lens Adapters Getting Stuck, Lloyd Chambers write about spending a harrowing "10 minutes trying to get a Kipon Leica-M-NikonZ lens adapter off my Zeiss ZM 35mm f1.4 Distagon." Readers chime in with alternate solutions to the problem, too.
- In Andrea Bruce on How She Earned the 2018 Catchlight Fellowship, David Walker digs into how the photographer struggled to get photojournalism grants because Our Democracy isn't a traditional reportage project.
- Derrick Story explains How and Why to Get a Photo Assistant. Who might, in a pinch, be "the boyfriend or mom" hanging around "for moral support."
- Tethered Shooters: Use Dictation as a Free Assistant offers an ingenious solution. You can get the details from Use Dictation Commands to Tell Your Mac What to Do.
