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 Brooklyn's Italian Williamsburg, salt mines, stylish Welsh children, Ming Thein, Stephen Gill, a fisheye landscape, the Olympus OM-D E-M1X and Luminar Flex.
- Joseph Sciorra explores The Remnants of La Dolce Vita in Brooklyn's Italian Williamsburg in a series of intimate images by Italian photographer Alessandro Cinque.
- Alan Taylor presents 23 photos of The Strange Beauty of Salt Mines. Not just mines, either, but evaporation ponds.
- In It's Called Fashion, a Striking Portrayal of Self-Expression in Stylish Welsh Children, Stephanie Wade showcases a series of portraits taken by photographer Clémentine Schneidermann and art director Charlotte James. They capture something of childhood along with the fashion the kids themselves came up with.
- Ming Thein's photo essay Shadow Form exhibits some wonderful monochromatic tonalities at play.
- Marigold Warner takes a look at The Pillar by Stephen Gill. "Gill set up a camera in a nearby farm, opposite a pillar of wood," she writes. "He knew birds were up there and hoped to funnel them down from the sky." It worked.
- Harold Davis went up Mt. Diablo one afternoon only to find Some Scenes Call for a Fisheye and Fun! He had both.
- In Olympus OM-D E-M1X Buyer's Remorse? I Don't Think So!, Craig Tooley lists the features of the new Micro Four Thirds camera he most appreciates. And what doesn't really matter much, too.
- Skylum has released Luminar Flex, a new plug-in that harnesses Luminar's 50+ filters and tools to other image editing software.
