Around The Horn
14 December 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 people kissing, volcanoes, Ottoman-era photographs, a 300mm Nikkor, a 30mm lens and the Sacramento Delta.
- In Passion, Romance and Yearning: Photos of People Kissing, Matthew Sedacca steals a few images from Barbara Levine and Paige Ramey's new book People Kissing: A Century of Photographs. The book includes 100 photos from their trove of found images, collected over almost two decades.
- Alan Taylor proclaims 2018: The Year in Volcanic Activity with 32 unusual photos to prove the point.
- In Ottoman-Era Photographs Take on New Meaning in Their Digital Life, Isotta Poggi takes a look at the Pierre de Gigord Collection now housed in the Getty Research Institute, "which recently digitized over 12,000 of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century photographs, making them available to study and download for free online."
- In Light Lenses, Joe McNally sings the praises of the Nikkor 300mm f4E PF ED VR lens. "It's crazy to have that much telephoto in such a small package," he writes.
- And Kirk Truck can't help but sing about his favorite lens of 2018, the Sigma 30mm f1.4 DN Lens, especially on a Micro Four Thirds camera shooting square.
- Harold Davis has been Exploring the Sacramento Delta, which he calls "almost a foreign country in the backyard of the San Francisco metropolitan area."
